A very small portion of us will be able to reign in our instincts and act responsibly. The remainder will not, no matter how much birth control and education we provide.

I guess, if you think responsibility is an either/or rather than a sliding scale. I happen to think that a lot of people are sorta responsible, if it isn't made too difficult and you remind them. So providing easy-access birth control and education will change the behavior of a lot of them. We are agreed that pretty much nothing will keep people from screwing.
I'd also note that, even if people think they are behaving responsibly (using birth control), if they haven't been taught how to use it correctly they will still get knocked up. I've read somewhere that about 1/2 of unplanned pregnancies are due to birth control failure, not non-use.
