Only for humans can a pregnancy be an “accident”. What we need are more non-injurious and non-fatal accidents. However, more non-accidental pregnancies would be better.
I ‘ve long ago lost count of the number of pregnant women I’d seen in clinic over the decades who would say something like “we only did it once,” or “he pulled out” or “we use condoms” or “but I was careful and watched my cycle” and my favorite “but I was on my period!” or any of the usual excuses for why she “couldn’t be pregnant” but, there was the HCG level report from the lab or her home pregnancy test with the little plus sign as counterpoint to her argument.
I learned to tell people (men AND women) this simple rule:
INTERCOURSE is how women get pregnant, no matter how careful or what form of “birth control” you use, there is ALWAYS a chance she can become pregnant.
This drive to reproduce is as deeply embedded in our DNA as eye color.
Thank God.
