Excellent, jdub, exactly what I was thinking. There are a couple more things I would like to say: -Considering the sexual orientation that we have, as you put it, unwanted pregnancies have been common since creation, or evolution, whichever you prefer. I think people are just progressively getting stupider, which is why sex education is such a very good idea. Evidently, nowadays people need to be told exactly what to do to prevent getting pregnant if they don't want to get pregnant. -It would indeed be marvelous if all women exercised, ate a balanced diet, got enough sleep, yada yada. It would benefit men, too. Most people, though, lack the self-motivation to stick with it for too long, so while it's a good idea for all women to be 'perfect' like this, I don't really see it happening. Pregnancy could be the motivator that gets a woman to exercise, sleep, etc. But most pregnant women I've known confess to giving into their box of donuts, banana split and triple-decker sandwich cravings, and it is normal, especially late in pregnancy, for women to have a hard time falling into a deep, uninterrupted sleep. So yeah, whatever. It's great in theory, and if I get pregnant I will definitely be taking folic acid and attempt to follow everyone's good advice, but I also probably will still want that half-gallon of maple syrup-pecan ice cream. (I'll probably eat the whole thing, too.)
