As you've seen in the previous postings we have explored the moral stance, legality of abortion as well as it's psychological and physiological effects on individuals. We have also discussed the negative effect this possibly could have in the world because of the absence of an individual who God has ordained to do something great that would tremendously affect the lives of people for the better. This particular post will be dealing directly with unwanted pregnancies among teens and unwed individuals.
In the midst of the controversy that surrounds this issue I have noticed that not many have addressed this issue of preventing unwanted pregnancies. So I've decided to tackle this issue head on and not evade it like so many have decided to do. And since I'm not concerned about being politically correct and believe in presenting the truth as it is I'll get straight to the point.
The leading cause to unwanted pregnancies derive directly from sexual intercourse where contraceptives are either not used or fail to perform properly in preventing impregnation. The forms of protection used in the United States come with a disclaimer that clearly states that it is not full proof but only greatly reduces the risk of pregnancy as directed and enforced by the FDA. But we all know that the only way to protect oneself from becoming pregnant is by eliminated the factor that causes it...Okay, let me make this clear, abstinence. I can hear the many thoughts that are racing through your mind right now, but stay focused and remember we're talking about pregnancies amongst our children. Many will be quick to disagree or disregard this as people in general don't like to do things that cause them to be in a place of discomfort...or held accountable for their actions. But let's face it, we know this is true and make logical sense but still we say “there must be an easier way.” So I ask, is there really? Is it worth it? What's so hard about exercising self control? Have we become so weak that we dare place the blame of our own mistakes on something else? Leave me your comments and then I'll give my conclusion on this matter.
