As Matt mentioned earlier, consenting to sex does not = consenting to have children. Many do it because it just plain feels good.
comparing smoking to getting pregnant? really?
I actually think his analogy works. When you smoke, you're doing something stupid and you risk getting cancer. When you have sex without contraceptives you're doing something stupid and it could result in pregnancy. Unless of course you want cancer and/or pregnancy. Both can have an unwanted outcome, both outcomes can be treated medically.
He's wrong in saying that you give consent for cancer or pregnancy by smoking or having sex. Hard to really give consent to a malignant growth that doesn't yet exist, but to each their own.
