Or have sex with people who don't have uteri. There's plenty of them - half the population doesn't have uteri.

However, if you have sex with a person who has a uterus, you need to acknowledge that should your sperm meet an egg and conception occur, you have no say. That's because each person has the right to bodily autonomy. You aren't forced to give up your kidney for the same reason. Once there's a human in the world below the age of 18 with half your dna, then you can participate in decision-making about that human being, but wonders of wonders! You can't force that human to donate a kidney or a heart either. Miraculously how that bodily autonomy works, huh?
