Perhaps than both men and women should from the activity with the potential to produce "accidental" children if either one is unprepared for that possible result. Yet I also understand that due to human nature, (see your Comstock quote and its implication that men lack self-control), abstinence cannot be public policy.
I guess one must ask what “accidental” means.
In the context of contraceptives, it means the contraceptive failed and the woman became pregnant.
The meaning seems clear to me. I do not understand why you would ask such a thing.

Because “accidental” could mean misuse of a contraceptive. People make mistakes. It doesn’t mean the contraceptive is bad.
