- This statement is not correct.
-
- The woman in an act of sexual intercourse has not undertaken a contractual
- obligation to use birth control. She has not certified her knowledge in u
- using it correctly, and she CLEARLY has not caused him through anything
- other than his own laziness to 'forsake birth control'. If some fella
- doesn't want to be a dad, said fella can put a cap on it!
-
- People lie. We all know this. We *all* know this. Therefore, relying
- upon the word of another person is AUTOMATICALLY stupid. That's where
- the whole growth of the legal industry sprang from.
-
- Now, if you want to be a disingenuous idiot, go ahead.
-
- But don't go telling other people that you can sue for fraud in an unen-
- forceable situation, because that's doing people who would (be stupid
- enough to) listen to you a GRAVE disservice.
