Curiouss, I don't know you nor do I know if you have ever been in a serious relationship where you are head-over-heels in love with the man you are with. But, to anyone who has never been in a relationship that is like that:
When you are that in love with someone, it is sooooo difficult to say no to sex. I use to want to wait until marriage to have sex. But, that was before I had a serious relationship. When I became involved in a serious relationship, I finally realized what my friends were talking about. It is hard not to give into temptation. Wanting sex is both biological and emotional. It is part of human nature and it is a beautiful and wonderful thing. It is an expression of love between two people. It should not be shunned because it may possibly produce a child.
My roommate/sorority sister use to go around at her church preaching to others about why they should wait until marriage to have sex (when she was in high school). Last October (2000), she met the man of her dreams who happened to be our next door neighboor. Two months later, she gave into temptation. Over a year later, she is still involved in a healthy sexual relationship with her boyfriend.
Most women who do not want to have children use precautions. They use condoms, the Pill, or other methods of birth control. Thankfully, many girls don't see abortion as a birth control method. But, pregnancy can happen to even the most cautious of all people. Pregnancy should not be a punishment for being involved in a beautiful thing such as sex.
Like I said before, I am pro-choice. If I were to get pregnant, I am not sure what I would do. But, I would love to have that option open.
PS- To any woman out there that uses abortion as a method of birth control....shame on you! Not only is it immoral but sometimes an abortion can leave you sterile. If you ever want a kid one day, an abortion can ruin that chance so be careful.
