pregnant (hypothetical)

i know i was just curious if some genious came up with something other than keeping it' date=' aborting it, putting it up for adoption, and running away[/color'] (and the last 3 weren't even really options)

Yes. Some genius did. They call it Plan B. If the condom breaks. Get it. It prevents conception. Think of it as an emergency condom.

I know of a case where a young woman aborted and later desparately wanted to get a child but did not get pregnant again.

What type of abortion did she have? Was it the pill? (The pill is the one I am advocating here) or was it a more "traditional" view of abortion? Also, having a child can have similar physical and emotional effects. ESPECIALLY when putting a child up for adoption. Not to mention the possible psychological effects the child will go through, one can only hope they are adopted.

I would like to clear this up for everyone that didn't read the link I asked them to. Abortion is not all "vacuum" style. In fact that is rarely done. Abortions refer to a pill that causes a miscarriage. Anyone that wants to have an abortion will/should know long before it is too late for the "miscarriage pill." The "vacuum" styled abortions are done where the mother's life is at risk and only recommended by a doctor.

The question was "Say you're a selfish teenager, not done living your life, and certainly not ready, nor financially or mentally able to be responsible for another life. You've accidentally gotten someone pregnant. What do you do?"

Hypothetical of course. well, sorta. I got someone pregnant and it ended in a miscarriage right as i was getting ready to swim to cuba. But it's hypothetical now. I wouldn't have been able to make it to cuba anyways, and anyone who would simply abandon a pregnant woman is a horrible person. So, i don't know what i would've done. I assume i would've stayed with her, but i was wondering what u guys woulda done in my situation

You should be using protection dude, wtf are you thinking!

I'm adopted' date=' and I turned out just fine. *twitch*[/quote']

Hehe. I'm not really referring to adopted kids. They tend to be pretty happy from the few I have met. I'm speaking about the majority that are not adopted. That number is much higher than those that are adopted.

Responsibility is the root of all good decisions.

A pity God did not design us with genitals that do not function until we are capable of handling the consequences of our actions, or in most cases even understanding them.

If you do not want kids, then do not try and make them. Cntraceptives, %'s, plan B - Z, are all secondary to the "keep it in your pants" answer. In the end, even with all of the above the dice can still roll towards that unavoidable end that will change your lives (yours, the mothers, the kids) forever.

Give your offspring the best chance sin life, after all, they are what will remain of you when all is said and done.

That sounds good. But it's just not true. The responsible decision is incredibly different depending on the person.

It's funny. Since the birth of the abstinence programs in the U.S. The total number of young mothers has actually risen. Abstinence is not only unnecessary, but unrealistic.

We are all sexual beings by nature. Try the abstinence thing, very very few have the will of such self deprivation to pull it off. You are also much more likely to enter into a loveless marriage or a marriage for the sole purpose of sex.

I could not agree more. If you are to ever have kids, it should be when both parents are damn good and ready. Which is why I jumped onto this topic with links and all.

Teaching abstinence is not the problem those programs have faced. The problem is that they are abstinence-ONLY programs. Groups like Planned Parenthood have advocated abstinence since they were founded as the best way to prevent pregnancy and STD transmission... they just aren't stupid enough to think "we said it, so they'll all always do it (or in this case, NOT do it)" and so they educate beyond that as well.
