No, it hasn’t been fine. You are one of the 8,000,000 which makes you partially responsible for the million or so unexpected pregnancies.

And I might respond, "who the #### are YOU to force your sexually active lifestyle on me? I don’t want to be exposed to even one second of a girls gone wild commercial on my TV at night. I don’t want sorority girls to throw themselves at any drunk guy who knows how to belch the alphabet. I don’t want sitcoms to portray the belief that sex should be a normal part of dating. I don’t want my girlfriends to break up with me because I won’t have sex with them. And I certainly don’t want millions of babies aborted every year. All of these things happen today because society as changed its attitude towards sex. Your attitude that you believe that you aren’t affecting my life is wrong. You are.
