Which of the following best captures Judith Jarvis Thomson's response to the UNPROTECTED SEX argument against abortion?
A) UNPROTECTED SEX is a cogent argument but it only applies to women who recognized that their actions involved a risk of pregnancy and failed to take steps to prevent pregnancy.
B) UNPROTECTED SEX is not cogent because it fails to account for women who were misled into thinking that their sexual partner was infertile or was going to use a condom.
C) UNPROTECTED SEX is not cogent because it is relevantly similar to the argument that if a burglar enters your apartment because you left the window open, you may not evict him because you are partially responsible for his presence there.
D) UNPROTECTED SEX is a cogent argument but it does not apply to women who were willing to get pregnant at the time they had unprotected sex but later changed their mind because of changes in their life circumstances.
