“Consent to sex isn’t consent to pregnancy.” Yes, yes, it is. That’s like saying eating food isn’t consent to digestion.

Do you know of any digestion control devices? Any effort to determine what part of the day you can eat without risk of digestion?
This is a bullshit analogy. Not all sex is or needs to be procreative. But if I could drink soda with an option not to digest it, that’d make me AND my doctor way happier.
I'd say it's more akin to "Eating food isn't consent to disease or parasites."
Eating food can lead to lead to both, but there are steps to prevent that, same with pregnancy. And honestly, dealing with an unplanned disease or parasite is also being hindered by the party that wants to fuck over medical leave and benefits, so it's even more apt.
Condoms.
Now stop eating, A Lie.
Just like how people deserve the right to stuff themselves with sweets without getting fatter (even though that’s a very rare thing and depends on your metabolism and such(*)), so do people deserve the right to f*ck themselves silly without getting pregnant (which is a hell of a lot easier to do than the previous example(**)). And if nature refuses to grant us such rights, then we should fight like hell (with science) to get it ourselves.
So, yeah, screw you! Signed, a man.
(*)I should know, I am one. I have a very sweeth tooth, don’t exercise much, and am still a stick figure. Though, granted, it’s not like I outright gorge myself with pastries and chocolate (even though I sometimes really want to).
(**)And I’m outright ignoring the male half of said “people”, who CAN have sex how much they want without getting pregnant.
Actually, a better analogy might be my recent colonoscopy.
There might have been a mistake. They were a little concerned that the doc’s ‘under training’ assistant might have nicked my large intestine’s lining. Mistakes happen. Precautions fail. Some of it outside of our own personal responsibility. The nurse mentioned it in recovery.
Nothing had actually wrought any damage. But it might have. So, if they had perforated my bowel, should i expect the opportunity to get that taken care of? Or since i consented to an elective medical procedure, and signed off on the paper describing the risks, did i automatically give consent to suffering peritonitis?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
