|   Gordon persists in avoiding

|   destroy a man's life.

|It's not the break in the condom, it's the man's own stupidity.  If he's
|so worried, let him get a vasectomy.  If he's willing to take the risk
|of condoms, read CR to find out which ones are less likely to break.
|Why should a woman have to go through one of two dangerous procedures
|(abortion and pregnancy) because of a *man's* lie or a "break in
|condom"?  *Everyone* involved needs to be responsible.

Well, using your own logic....why couldn't the woman get a tubal ligation?
It was her own stupidity that she got pregnant in the first place. To
use such unreliable methods such as condoms (accidents happen) and
vasectomy (which has NUMEROUS cases of failure to protect) instead of
a more practical and safe form of BC, surely would shift the responsibility
to the woman. Like you said....*everyone* involved needs to be responsible.
