Come on, Elisa, you can't really mean this: "If a man is so loathe to have children, he should either abstain from sex altogether, carry and enforce multiple forms of birth control, or have a vasectomy."
Isn't this the exact argument that the pro-life side uses in its fight against a woman's right to choose? It sounds like you'd be unwilling to impose such strictures on women -- unwilling to say, for instance, that if a woman is loathe to have children, she should either abstain from sex altogether, carry and enforce multiple forms of birth control, or have her tubes tied. Why be so tough on men, then? Can you explain why this position isn't unfair?
