As far as killing a born child: Unfortunately, it happens frequently. That child would have been better off either never happening or being aborted once conceived. There are plenty of unfit parents out there.
Until you are a woman, and find yourself feeling hopeless, you will never understand the choice some have made.
I support Planned Parenthood completely because they provide birth control so the alternative doesn't even have to be an issue.
On that note of choices and options.
My daughter is coming home for the summer before a year abroad. She has an appt. with Planned Parenthood in July. They are providing her with 9 months of birth control (she pays for it) since she will not be around for her regular appt's (she has to go in every 3 months...pretty good, isn't it?)
If something happened to go wrong she would have four options.
Have an abortion.
Have the child and slow down/stop her college education (this is what I chose to do when I found out I was expecting her)
I could take over the upbringing of her child while she finishes her studies (I am lucky I can offer this option)
She could give the baby up for adoption.
*Thank goodness for birth control and Planned Parenthood for being there to provide it*
...because the above options make me cringe just typing them. |
Wenchy,
I would like to say thank you. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I am without insurance at the current moment, and need to get birth control (*for more reasons then just sex*). And it looks like I will need to go to Planned Parent Hood, but I was very worried that if I walked in there it would just be an abortion clinic. And I didn't want people to look at me like I had done something horribly wrong.
So again Thank you.
