My best friend found out she is due on my birthday. After discussing a person we know who got pregnant after the 5th date AND THEY MARRIED within 2 mo and still are married and this little surprise of my friend we concluded that birth control is indeed the job of women-its their body not his. Your veiws on prevention..?

Heck no, its a mutual responsibility of birth control. Its as much his fault as hers.

Well, in all honesty, as a woman, one that doesn't want more children, I would not rely on any man to make sure I didn't get pregnant, unless he has had a vasectomy. I was the same when younger too, I made sure I was protected from any unwanted pregnancies.
Then again, I would really hope that any man that doesn't want to risk being a father would feel the same as I.
So, if somebody winds up pregnant or having gotten somebody pregnant, when they didn't want a child, then I'd say its their own fault regardless of which sex they are.

Yes, I agree it is the woman's responsibility because it is her body, but with that said, if she gets pregnant, it is both parties responsibility to be a mother and a father to the child.

Nope. It's a mutual responsibility. If the relationship isn't at a point where it can be discussed and agreed upon, then it's not at a point where sex is a good idea.

well thats a load of crap if ever there was....It takes two to tango a womans body has the capacity to concieve and carry a child and give birth but its the male who plants the seed in the woman in the first place.... It is extremely annoying listening to people blame a woman for pregnancy just because she is the one who gets pregnant...Any pregnancy that occurs is the responsibilty of both male and female...

Bull, because when she becomes pregnant and the guy doesn't want the child even if both have made an effort to avoid pregnancy, she can still say its her body and keep the child while she socks him with child support for a child he didn't want to begin with.
So I say, who ever does not want children, has the burden of making sure he/she is covered, or practice celibracy, do not rely on the other person to take care of their business, they will not. I have a girl (27) at work who I'm the one that has to keep reminding her to take her BC because she misses 3/4 days at a time. She has a 1 yr old and is not looking to have another at this time. Well, hell, if you're not and he's not, take responsibility for the damn body you claim to be yours. Women cannot have it both ways.
But if she does become pregnant and he's willing to shouldered the responsibility, well and good, but after they break up, he can not then quit in the middle. So before pregnancy, knowing his views on not having children, and she does so anyway, she's screwed. He shouldn't have to pay child support for a child, he clearly stated he did not want. But if both of them do not want any, then its up to both to become accountable for their respective birthcontrol. The women more so as she ends up carrying the child and nurturing it the most.

Hey hun, I don't agree, it is her body, lets says they both agree to the pull out method, the woman is trusting what happen to her body to him It is HER responsibility to not allow someone to do something that she thinks shouldn't be done, it takes two to make a child, but it is ALWAYS the woman's choice, by ALLOWING sex.
lets say the man wants a baby and the woman doesn't she is responsible for both of their actions to ensure she doesn't get pregnant, if he says he's not going to wear a condom then SHE can chose not to have sex with him. and he doesn't get the baby he wants
If a man is not ready for a baby but the woman wants to get pregnant, she can lie to him and say she is on birth control and not to worry, and she gets her baby that she wants, I don't beleive in abortions but if the guy is not ready to care for a child he can't make her get an abortion, but he will still be required to support the child. but If the guy wants the child and the WOMAN doesn't the guy can't make her keep it.. when it comes to pregnancy and having a child the men have NO choice in anything except for abstenence JMO

it's not just up to the woman
as a man , if you dont want to get someone pregnant you need to take action to make sure that doesnt happen regardless of wether she is on birth control or not ... there is a chance she can still get pregnant .. it happens . different birthcontrols are more effective than others and both parties are responsible for there own body and actions ..
if she gets pregnant .. then they say " he got her pregnant " right ? not " she let herself get pregnant "

It's sad that you use the word 'fault' when talking about a pregnancy.

I think it was meant to say unplanned pregnancy
