That's not how it works with children. Unless you have abortion easily available for poor people and sterilisation easily available for folks that don't want children... you might not have a choice. If you are male, you can't force stop an accidental pregnancy. Luckily, though, male sterilisation is quite effective. It is generally more difficult for females to get sterilized (especially if you aren't married and/or don't have children), it has more risk of failure, is more invasive, and is more expensive. All other birth control methods can fail - people get pregnant on the pill. Condoms break. And so on. Your employer might not even cover birth control.
And these things don't even begin to cover things like rape, incest, and underage pregnancy where a guardian doesn't allow abortion.
Children are not always preventable
Other folks have already addressed the medical problems, so I'm gonna pass on it.

- Broken_Hippo 7y agoIt is a ridiculous expectation to expect folks not to have sex, and as such, not included. This is a basic urge of people, and while some folks choose not to, most do not. If it were that simple, abstinence only education would include coping skills to avoid rather than shaming and would have a much better track record. Not having sex is simply not a viable option for most people - especially so within the confines of a committed romantic relationship. In fact, it is an easy way to void such a relationship in most cases.
