(Actually, I tend to find that people who don't draw a line between consent to sex and consent to pregnancy are making a cruel and even mocking argument -- as in "you made your bed, now lie in it" -- an argument which treats pregnancy and subsequent childbirth and even parentage as a just punishment -- which is a more horrible attitude than I can even express. But I hold open the possibilities that they don't mean to come across that way, and that there are arguments which don't draw that line but also don't take glee in punishing people for their sexual iniquities. I'm just predisposed to react badly to that sort of argument because usually a bad reaction turns out to be the right one.)
