That's a terrible analogy. The consequences of bringing an unwanted child into a world, to unfit parents, should be weighted a lot heavier than the need to teach someone a lesson about safe sex.

You hate the argument, great, does this somehow invalidate it? Two weeks after conception the Fetus has a heartbeat. You can rationalize that they don't have emotions at that age, but ending a life is still robbing them of what could have been.

How is my analogy terrible, it may well be that the parents are unfit, and that is truly unfortunate. Some people are unfit to be on the road, and they drive anyway, and they are responsible for their actions all the same. I would argue they should not be driving, I would not be saying it's OK for them to keep crashing as long as they clean up the mess they make.

I fail to see merit in your responses.
