Both. My safe sex practices are the stuff of legend. It's reasonable, thus, to presume that I would be getting the pill with my daughter when she was 16-17 and teaching her all about the many forms of birth control and contraceptives, because I'm aware that like her old man she may very well be sexually active when she's young. She will be armed with knowledge at a young age. One would hope that this would make the unexpected pregnancy unlikely, but to be honest there are times when young people are caught up in the moment and forget to do what they should be doing. They behave in an irresponsible manner. As such, I'm sure I'd have every right to be disappointed with my daughter (and obviously the boy, though he may not have had such vigilant parents). I can be disappointed in her for letting herself forget all that I and her mother had carefully taught her.

The failure rates of compound birth control are nearly astronomical. If you combine pill, condom, and spermicide, your chances of getting pregnant drop off to an area close to 1/60,000 (according to my doctor). Those are the same odds that I've gambled with since I was 13, and I've never gotten someone pregnant that I didn't intend.

He put his penis in my daughter's vagina and ejaculated, releasing sperm that fertilized her egg. He knocked her up. It has nothing to do with "GET"ting someone pregnant, and I'm not even sure what that means.
