101. No.
It takes two people to become pregnant. Both are equally responsible and should have equal say so in the decision. Regardless of whose body the pregnancy resides in, all of us with more then a 6th grade education know that when two people engage in sex the result can very possibly be a pregnancy. If a woman or man is of the mind that they would not be willing to accept that possibility should it occur they should:
a.) abstain
b.) Undergo a selective vasectomy, hysterectomy, or tubal litigation
c.) Practice birth control. If you cant take the pill, do depo. if you cant do depo, do the ovoring, if you cant do the ovoring, do norplant, if you cant do norplant, diaphram, if you cant do a diaphram, female condoms, spermicide, cervical cap, condom, etc, etc, etc.. there are a whole host of birth control options.
d.) Make sure that the person that they are having sex with is on the same page as they are regarding what to do in the case of pregnancy.

Personally, I wouldn't have sex with someone before finding out how they stood on this issue. If they aren't close enough to discuss this with they sure as hell are not close enough to enter my body.

In cases of sexual assault an attacker should have no voice.
