Guessing like Bill Clinton, you don't consider oral sex >_>

I'd consider it "sexual relations," but when colloquially talking about sex, I generally mean intercourse. In this particular case, there aren't very many heterosexual people that only intend to have oral sex indefinitely without ever escalating to intercourse, so I would say it's fairly safe to assume that equivalency goes without saying.

"A chance" is largely exaggerated.

It's enough of a chance that everyone should plan for it. Most will never actually have to act on that plan (provided they take appropriate contraceptive measures, which they should), but the odds are higher than many people realize. IUD's (the most effective non-permanent option) have about a 0.5% failure rate per year, so over the course of ~40 years of fertility (assuming sexual activity for that full range, which isn't unreasonable), you're looking at a ~18.2% chance to see a pregnancy happen. In practice, there's often a ~10-year window in that period where people do want to have kids and after which permanent sterilization becomes a plausible option (though even that's not foolproof), so those odds rarely stay that consistent for that full time frame, and that effectiveness rate is a population measure and treating it as an individual probability isn't quite right (that is, 0.5% of sexually active individuals with IUD's will become pregnant each year, not each individual has a 0.5% chance to get pregnant per year), but that's still a non-trivial chance.

Again, will it happen to everyone? No. Will it happen to enough people that everyone should plan for it? Absolutely, especially given how straightforward that planning process is.

The kinds of women who'd lie about being on birth control are the same kind who'd lie about their opinions on abortion... and are the same kind who might dig through the trash for a used condom.

That's exceedingly uncommon and not particularly relevant to the issue at hand. I'm not sure where your intense, blanket distrust of women comes from, but it really doesn't seem very healthy.

Right wing opinions get censored by leftist gfaqs mods,

Not really. The only opinions that get censored get censored on the basis of being terrible opinions that nobody should have, not on the basis of their political leanings (e.g. you getting warned for insisting that the Covid vaccines were dangerous and there's a grand conspiracy to cover that up: that's not a "right-wing opinion," that's just plain dangerous misinformation). It turns out that a lot of such deplorable opinions are associated with the right wing, but that's largely coincidental.
