This is an appropriate attitude because birth control is always 100% effective and because the children resulting from unintended pregnancies deserve whatever suffering they get because their parents
might have been irresponsible.

Health care is not a right. You have the negative right to live, in that I have no right to kill you, but I should be under no requirement to ensure you survive. If you get sick and die because of poor genes, living in a bad environment, or not taking care of yourself it's not my fault and I don't want to have to bear the burden of keeping you alive.

If one takes the time, one can conceptualize society in terms of a biological systems. For example, we can look at society as a collection of cells, bound together in thea common purpose of self perpetuation- as a species it is good for us to stick together. In this type of model, individuals are analogous to cells and in this type of model, people who think like you are cancer.
"Fuck everyone else, Ima get mine" is a piss poor way of being a member of society. In fact, it might reasonably be stated that one of the primary advantages of social existence is that there are many situations where we can all benefit from the assistance of other people more so than we benefit from going without that assistance.
But I'm sure you don't ever take advantage of something you didn't earn and have never benefited from the spending of your fellow citizen's tax dollars.
