Sex life necessitates responsibility

I have to respectfully disagree with Marc Gretencord's response to Juno Farnsworth's "Aiming Higher" letter. Birth control is used in order to take responsibility for the life that we are currently leading. People do try to have children when it best fits into their life and at a time when they are capable of being a good parent. Sex is a part of life and both men and women need to take responsibility for their actions. Without birth control, women would be dropping out of school left and right and bring babies into the world that they couldn't care for. Then what happens?
