And guess what, people? Everyone who is smugly stating, "Just use birth control. It's not that hard. What, is she too stupid to use birth control?" Well, holier-than-thou folks ... news flash ... there is NO method of birth contol, save abstinance, that is 100% effective. Birth control fails sometimes. How many people walking around in this country today are living, breathing proof of that?
I would like to agree and applaud you and add my own...

PEOPLE ARE MANIPULATIVE! I made sure my ex and I used birth control regularly. HE was the one who purposely got me pregnant by POPPING A CONDOM to force me not to dump him. I never thought that trusting someone I loved would have such horrible results. (This led to all sorts of problems in the beginning of my current relationship, but that's another rant)

My co-worker got pregnant once on the shot, and TWICE after she got her tubes tied.

It's not as simple as hign and mighty people who have never been in that situation make it sound. "What a moron, how could she go and get herself pregnant at sixteen?" EXCUSE THE FRAG OUT OF ME FOR TRUSTING A MAN I HAD BEEN WITH FOR TWO YEARS!

On another board there was a thread about the poor girl who died after using the abortion pill. I was brought to tears by all the responses that basically said "Good, one more idiot who can't use BC wiped out of the gene pool!" Goddess, that could have been me! At least the man was standing by the poor girl and they were doing something about it.

Erf, I apologize for completely hijacking this thread.
