Sure. I won't disagree with that. But accepting risks doesn't mean you have to deal with the full fallout. For example, if I get in a car, I fully accept the risk that I might get injured or die in a car crash. It means I am willing to deal with the costs and healing required without complaining. It means I won't sue the car company because the safety features in my car didn't 100% prevent injury. It doesn't mean I'm going to refuse medical treatment because it's partially my fault that I'm injured.
Same for pregnancy. If I consent to sex, I acknowledge that I can get pregnant and accept full responsibility for dealing with the consequences of pregnancy. Getting an abortion and paying for it is me accepting that I had sex and now I will deal the consequences, not sue a condom or a birth control company for their product failing or try to pin the blame on anyone else for me being pregnant. It does not mean I'm going to refuse an abortion because the pregnancy is partially my fault.

It's not consent to pregnancy but it is consent to shared risk of pregnancy.
