Let’s not pretend that people don’t have pre-marital sex. Let’s acknowledge that there are quite a big number of unplanned parenthood, which subsequently leads to marriage. Let’s not talk about marriage.
Let’s talk about responsibility.
If you choose to practice pre-marital sex, know the consequences. Take preventive measures if you’re afraid of getting impregnated/ impregnating your girlfriend (it should be a shared responsibility). Don’t take chances.
If you do end up getting pregnant anyway, know the consequences. Do you know what it means to raise a child? Emotionally, financially? Know the reason behind why you choose to keep/ not keep the child.
For some reason, it seems like people just assumes that the guy should be ‘responsible’ for the girl. I don’t think it’s very fair. Yes, without him, there wouldn’t be a baby. But should it really be his decision whether or not a girl keeps the baby?
I’d want to think that the decision will be entirely up to me. We are not married, we did not talk about pro-creating and having a family, we were merely acting on our sexual impulses. If there’s a baby growing inside me — my body — I’d like to think that the decision is mine, and I’ll take full responsibility for it.
I’d like to think that it’s only fair that men get to abandon their own flesh and blood, (unwed) mothers should have the right to take full ‘ownership’ of their child.
