Of course it is. Even if you didn't know that sex lead to pregnancy or about contraception or, again about abortion, you still choose to keep the kids in your life. You could choose to give them away, loose them, kill them, run away. You could keep them but neglect them. Having kids is a giant process in which you are involve all long the way.
You may say that it is unthinkable. But it's just you choosing one cost instead of another. Being a decent human or not is a choice, being a single paying alemony or a couple hating your kids is another choice. And there is a price to all of them. That's what a choice is.
A choice is not about doing whatever you want. That's omnipotence. A choice is chosing what to do with the piece of block the life tetris gave you.
But of course, none of this argument matters because I'm answering to HN readers, a niche a very educated people that know all about pregnancy, contraception, abortion and that having children has a huge impact. This post is, after all, about somebody interested in the process enough to trigger a whole debate it.
So my comment is to be taken in that context.
