This shouldn't need to be pointed out, but... (1) What planet do you live on that women who say "no" are never raped? (2) Why is it not that if a MAN doesn't want to be a father, it is HIS responsibility to say "no" ??? (3) When a woman says "no" by using a "safe" method of birth control and her partner says "no" by taking an active role in that birth control (reminders about pills, "preparing" diaphragms, using condoms, etc.), and some little sperm beats the odds, the woman is just saying "no" again when she chooses to flush that sperm (and its mate, the egg) out of her body.
