Essentially, it is there for reproduction. If you do it, just be aware there is a chance a baby will come of it (just as sometimes there's a chance of contracting a disease).

True, but the thought that if something unplanned happens that they have to just deal with it is pretty damn harsh to me. I mean... I just can't comprehend the thought that fear should overcome an experience is joyful and healthy.

Just like you may enjoy eating chocolate/junk food, you must therefore be prepared for the possible consequences of eating unhealthily.
IMO, it's all common sense and maturity.

Yeah but there's a difference in gaining weight and having a baby :P

I hope by "tools" you mean contraceptive methods? Yes, they are there but are not foolproof therefore you should still be aware of that risk. Which brings us back around to education. Especially when you hear people asking "Can you get pregnant up the bum?" "Can you get HIV from kissing?". It's all about being informed and knowing what you're getting into (literally).

No I mean a clothes hanger. No but srsly in general people know how to approach sex in a safe manner. I don't know what it's like in the UK but the sex education programmes here were fairly regular and informative. Even those with... erm... less common sense know how to approach sex in a safe manner.

If you are referring to abortion as a "tool to prevent consequences" then that is my main problem with abortion, that view is barbaric.

I suck with words, but I can't really think of a nice way of putting it, probably because there isn't. I don't believe that in the case of something unplanned they should have somebody tell them "Nope, you're having the baby." In my eyes, I find the idea of that more barbaric.
