Everyone has the human right to have sex with who they want, and most take precautions to prevent children. But those preventatives don't always work. I used the pill religiously, along with condoms every time. But I still got pregnant.
Don't be so ignorant.
Open your mind a little bit. "

Sounds to me like some of these people have had life changing events that they were unable to control such as fires, disabilities, etc. Not to say that maybe you are correct, but, lets not jump to conclusions. Remember, there are still those struggling from the aftermath of the flood! "
