And i get what you mean by the broken arm, but in my defence, here's another example, if two women have cancer, one is 80 and the other is 40, they will treat the 40 year old over the 80 year old. And don't try to proove me wrong as this is happening to my family friend, he has prostate cancer and they are just going to let nature take it's course because he is too old, so YES, doctors do sometimes act depending on the situation.

If simply not wanting a baby is not a reason, and we've already established that someone who has consensual sex with contraception doesn't want a baby, how does that relate to your point? I know that you are against abortion, but I don't understand why you aren't against it if the woman had a contraception failure. Basically, if you have consensual sex (at a suitable age), you know the risks, with or without contraception, and you should have to accept those consequences.

And your cancer example is a completely different situation. Yes, they have the same condition, but age is a factor. In the pregnancy example, the only difference is how they got pregnant (ie with/without contraception).
