Ugh. Did you read that thinkpiece a couple months back by the woman who was
conflicted about getting her IUD because it meant she couldn't
accidentally-on-purpose sabotage her birth control? I read it and I could
not and cannot fathom the mindset behind it.
I wonder, though, to what extent this sort of thing explains antichoice
women--they hear 'unplanned pregnancy' and think of this, rather than of
birth control failure. Or possibly think of birth control failure as
another example of this sort of roulette--deliberately using less effective
methods or using them badly as another means of plausible deniability. In
either case, the antichoice refrains of "Personal responsibility" and
"Actions have consequences" would be some pretty rank but pretty typical
projection.
