-----------------------
Whenever I cross the street, I stand a chance of getting hit by a car,
even if I look both ways.  Without a 100% effective contraceptive,
unwanted pregnancy will always be thrust upon a woman.  Abstinance
helps, except in the case of forcible rape, but even you (I hope)
would not recommend that alternative for married women.  They have
abortions too, you know.
