Then I decide whether I want to stay with him? Just as, if he didn’t agree when my opinion changed he could have left me?

No, believe me. I get it.
You feel empowered when you belittle total strangers from the comfort of wherever home is for you.
I really don’t understand that type of pleasure, but hey, we don’t agree or understand each other about a lot of things, I’m sure.
So they don't want children. That's why they used birth control. That's a contract. If the woman doesn't want the baby she has every right to terminate.
It's her body and her choice. He doesn't get to trump her because he's male. Life isn't fair. That's the way it is, unless you want to go back in time.
What do you think is the best senerio here. Really, I'm curious. What is your answer to this senerio, in an unperfect world.

You weren't responsible...you were irresponsible when you CHOOSE to have sex when you weren't ready to have another child.

Tell me what should happen in the following in your scenario of these two "responsible" adults.
They use birth control because they don't want a child...and oops the women gets pregnant (did they not realize birth control isn't 100%???).

And?
Married people can be irresponsible...I don't understand your point.
I am fine with the man walking away if the woman decides to deliver a child. (and so are the courts, by the way)
By using birth control they ARE taking responsibilty, if they don't want a baby, there are ways. POOF.
Your logic is that we are victims of biology. I disagree with you. Life does not begin at inception. There is nothing sacred about biological/chemical reactions.
