         Sorry, Mom, gotta disagree with ya on this one. It is always a woman's responsibility and if you tell your daughters differently, you're doing them an injustice.
         
         It's their responsibility to protect themselves by not having sex with a guy who hasn't been checked out, won't wear a condom, or whatever other route she wants to take. But the bottom line is women bear the children. If you don't want children or abortion, you need to protect yourself.
         
         Don't ever trust a guy you don't know very well to tell you something regarding this. Find out the facts about him for yourself.

               That completely puts a lie to the statement that it's all on the woman. They are telling her no--it's on the state to decide what she will do.
               
               And THEN the state tells her "You're on your own"...after forcing her to do what they order!
               
               If you people want to say that it's all the womans responsibilty, you cannot then take choices away from her!
               
               Because what I hear you saying is a woman decides her sexual life until she gets pregnant....then you take over.

                  I guess I was taking it metaphorically. People make things far more complicated than they need to be, IMO. Have sex, don't have sex. Who cares. Educate your children and suffer the consequences or reap the satisfaction of your decisions. It's always been that way. We're so much more aware of consequences now thanks to media that this should be a no brainer. Instead it literally turns into not having any brain.

"In fact, the only positive comments I got were from folks who remembered it from 50 years back. Birth control pills weren’t yet available, so everyone laughed at the silliness on how an aspirin could become a birth control pill."
    
    "After listening to the segment tonight, I can understand how I confused people with the way I worded the joke and their taking offense is very understandable," he wrote. "To all those who took my joke as modern day approach I deeply apologize and seek your forgiveness." He noted that his wife didn't like the joke, either.
