Yeah, you could also get HIV/AIDS from kissing in those days too.

pro-life. if you don't want to have a baby, don't have sex.
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.

If don't want to get hit by a car, don't cross the road.

There isn't a latex suit you can put over you if you don't want to get hit

No no.
It should be " If your not responsible enough to use a condom/birth control every time you have sex even though you don't want a baby, then don't have sex.

You can use crosswalks, though.

This is an interesting metaphor. What do stoplights represent? Or bicyclists? Or a traffic jam?

As for my stance on abortion, it's pro-choice. I tend not to meddle in the affairs of others, because I don't want my own affairs meddled in. And if a woman I was having intimate relations with became pregnant, I would let her choose. Although, I'm planning on waiting until after marriage to have such aforementioned intimate relations, so any pregnancy would likely be joyful news, not unfortunate.

But that's just me.

Having sex like a retard: not using a condom.
Crossing the street like a retard: jaywalking on a highway.

jinxed's statement was effectively, "don't cross the street unless you're willing to jaywalk across a highway."

How much of their senses do they need to have to consent legally? A 6-year-old might consent to an activity, and not be old enough to do so wittingly or with good knowledge. A vegetable will never say "no". If you don't have the capacity to say "no" or "yes", certainly you can't consent. But what if you have the capacity to say "yes", but not the capacity to understand the circumstances or consequences? Uninformed or misinformed buyers are protected by contract laws. If you get drunk and someone preys upon you with fraud, you're safe.

There's surely a fuzzy border between knowledgeable consent and accidental consent. And when a doctor says to his comatose patient: "Do you really want me not to pull the plug on your feeding tube? I'M NOT HEARING A NO! :DDD", there's, legally, a form of consent. That's why you can't fuck coma patients, sleeping people, and children. So, when you're drunk, it's a different sort of inability to not make decisions? Why.
I think it might depend on how drunk we're talking about, here.
As soon as we wish to be happier, we are no longer happy.
