| Re: Teenage Sex
Biology and history would seem to imply that by virtue of being capable of reproducing at all: most teens are, in fact, "ready" for sex. If they want to have it: yay... good for them. It's none of my business (unless they're my kids).
What's causing all the trouble is the notion that kids are somehow free of responsibility for their actions on account of their age and that once they start popping out kids -- their relatives, the taxpayers and the abortion clinics have more to worry about than they do.
I think that's bunk.
If you're producing eggs: you're old enough to be held accountable for their willful fertilization :/
And I'm sorry ladies: but sexist or not ~ you're the gatekeepers. You deal with the biological fallout -- not the guys. If you're not brave enough to insist he use protection: you're not ready to be having sex at all.
Want a baby? An abortion? Pay for it yourself, drive your own butt to the hospital and deal with the aftermath.
Haven't got it in you? Then you shouldn't be having unprotected sex.
Can't imagine having a baby? Reality check... that's what sex is for. Saying you "accidentally" got pregnant having sex is like saying you were "accidentally" shot playing russian roulette. |
