You know what is 100% effective? Abstinence.

The analogy works because if you have an accident in a car and somebody dies, you pay the consequences.
If you have an accident in the bedroom that results in a new life being formed, you pay the consequences and you raise that child.

Not necessarily true. If someone rear-ends you (insert your own sex joke here), or something else happens outside of your control (like an accident initially caused by an animal that results in a multi-vehicle crash), you may be found not liable for damage because the accident could not be reasonably avoided.

If someone is using contraception, they are making a good faith attempt to prevent a pregnancy, the same way someone driving within the bounds of the law is making a good faith effort not to get in a car accident. If circumstances beyond their control - like a broken condom or faulty pill - result in a pregnancy, why should they be forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term and shoulder the financial costs associated with the same?

No one recommends avoiding road accidents by *not driving*, they recommend avoiding accidents by being safe and if you follow the guidelines, you're typically not held responsible if an accident does occur. Since you like this analogy so much, the same standards should apply to sex, no?
