> Condoms are extremely effective, and cost nothing.

Condoms are only 98% effective even when used correctly[1]. Women need access to abortion.

There is risk with everything in life. If someone is having sex, regardless of condom use, birth control use, vasectomy, etc., they are accepting the risk of an unplanned pregnancy.

Why is it that we push for the killing of unborn persons instead of taking responsibility for the consequences of one's actions?

That's per year, not per instance. So it's really quite high.
