    Pretty much what I told him when he told me the story! But not as big an idiot as the woman of course!

    He lied to her, used her for sex and snooped through her phone, don't really think he can take the moral high ground on this one.

    As opposed to lying and trying to get pregnant when clearly the other partner didn't want it?


    I'm sure she felt very 'used' for sex, bearing in mind she was using sex to try get a baby....

    It's not even remotely comparable, hurt feelings aren't even remotely the same as lying to someone to try get them to produce a child / child support they don't want

    Both were liars, both took risks far worse than pregnancy.

    A pair of f*ckless idiots that deserved each other.

    How do you define forced parenthood in your own terms?

    Parenthood that hasnt been thought about/agreed to/planned by both parties concerned.

    Isn't there something called 'stealthing' where a gentleman tries to fool the lady that he's using a condom but takes it off during/just before?

    OP - reproductive coercion also happens. That is when someone (usually female) is forced into parenthood due to verbal/financial/emotional/physical abuse and options for birth control are restricted or removed.

    While it's sensitive down there, it's not that sensitive with modern condoms that are designed to not to be felt.

    The pill, even when taken properly, isn't 100% effective if it goes through the system faster than normal.
