I got pregnant on every form of birth control. First, Billy and his god damn condom. Then the mess of diaphragm and foam. Bingo! Conception two. Who knew I was part of the two percent for the pill? Then the IUD. That one broke my heart. Rick and I were almost ready. I wanted that baby.
Oh no! I spent the early part of my adulthood terrified of this. Needlessly, as it turned out (mostly). Still, I’ve never begrudged those for whom contraception didn’t work. It also means choice is taken away, and there are consequences.

This is a great post. And great comment, Mali, about a choice being taken away.
