Did a person who is so "deeply concern" about men has a single word to say about choice-for-men in a case of birth control failure? Why you tossed this irrelevant point in (like, "if you're so concerned about the environment, what do you have to say about office air-conditioning?"), I do not know. However, I think I have an answer for *your* concern. If there is a birth control failure with me and a man, he is welcome to choose to carry (or otherwise incubate) and raise the child if he wants to. He can't tell me I have to, though. Muffy
