Something That's Always Bugged Me About the Star Wars Prequels...

All that advanced technology, and yet, there are, apparently, no contraceptives in that galaxy?!
I mean, seriously, if they had a marriage that they needed to keep secret, wouldn't it have been a good idea to avoid getting pregnant?! And yet, there's no mention made of any efforts they might have gone through to prevent pregnancy. It's just, "Oh, hey, look! You're pregnant! What now?" Maybe, just maybe, it would've been wise to think about that before they started makin' babies. That's all I'm saying.
That, and Padme knowingly marries someone that's already admitted to being a murderous lunatic. (Not to mention, someone with an apparent penchant for slaughtering children.) Her response to that is to marry him and bear his children?! What. The. Hell.

Yes; watched Episodes II and III the other day, though not for the first time. Felt the need to vent about those two little things, and they've bugged me ever since I first saw the films.
