I'm glad to hear it, personally. That procedure is far simpler, safer, and even potentially reversible. It certainly beats all the body-injuring methods women have endured forever.
No, women do not prefer it but men do not like to use a condom. I would have said no condom, no sex. Even a condom is not a fail safe but at least offers some protection. Many who find themselves in this predicament can't afford to buy condoms. They don't know they can get them free at many government sponsored locations or chose not to take advantage of the service. I do not understand why men or women chose to take a chance. The person who pays the price is the unwanted child. That is the heartbreak.
Women do not want abortions but men refuse to wear a condom. If a man cares about you and your health he will wear one. No condom, no sex was the same for me in my younger days.
