Jude Law Becoming Father For Fourth Time: In a relationship, whose responsibility is it to take care of birth control?

user

Reading the news that Jude Law, hot English actor whom looks even hotter in the 2004 drama, Closer, with Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman, is to become a father for the fourth time. As news outlets emerged with details on the pregnancy with a woman he was once in a relationship with is fascinating to me. Especially when you read the news online and then read the comments posted after the fact. Many shout out, "Use a condom!" or "Heard of a vasectomy?" Others shout back, "Why wasn't she on the pill?" or "What an opportunist!"

Jude Law has three children from his previous marriage with Sadie Frost. The couple divorced in 2003 after admitting he had an affair with the couple's nanny. This time around, he will become a father again with aspiring model/actress Samantha Burke.

"After he left, she found out she was pregnant. She tried to reach him , but the cell phone number she had for him was a temporary number that he only used in New York while filming" the source said. The two met while he was shooting Guy Ritchie's version of Sherlock Holmes, which was filmed in New York last winter.

Whose responsibility is it to take care of the birth control? Should the woman make sure she is protected or should men carry the brunt of this decision?

Maybe both should think about the responsibilty before rushing into bed when lust calls?

    Both parties should be responsible & never take someone else's word. Protect yourself first! Stupid people.

    Pragmatically speaking, whichever one doesn't want a baby more had better take the responsibility, or they will find themselves with a kid they didn't want.

    Yes, of course it's a shared responsibility. If you don't do your fair share of prevention, you lose the right to complain when an unwanted pregnancy occurs.

    I absolutely agree with instrumentjamlord. Men can trap women just like women can trap them. I just dealt where a situation in which a man purposely impregnated a friend of mine, not once but TWICE! After the first pregnancy ended with miscarriage, I thought she would be smarter and either get on birth control or just stop sleeping with him after he'd proved himself to be so kniving but she slept with him without protection a second time and wound up pregnant again. The bottom line is: if you don't want to get pregnant or be a father then do what you have to do to prevent it! Get on birth control or wear a condom...or just don't have sex! For crying out loud! She may be my friend but I think she's a damn fool.

    I have urges too but I don't act on them, and if I did, I would Berlin wall my vagina. I have a strict no babies policy! I refuse to be an unwed mother. It wasn't cool at 17 and it's no better now that I'm 23. Until there's a ring on my left ring finger, I'm not having anyone's child. All of the "I love you's" in the world couldn't change that.
