Yeah in many places they teach abstinence only sex ed so they don't teach you about contraception at all. Not even condoms or birth control pills let alone that you can usually get plan b for free at planned parenthood if you can't afford it. Had to do that on two separate occasions when a condom broke and the girls weren't on birth control. Also once with my gf when I was like 18, but I bought it at Kroger for $60 cuz I didn't know s--- about PP and I don't recall them teaching us about it—and that was in one of the most progressive states in the USA.

It is 100% percent s--- and nonexistent in most states. Full of lies too.

“Condoms don’t decrease pleasure” GTFO

Oh well it's very brave of you to come on here and talk about it. Did you really care about if you ruined the babies life though? Sounds like you just didn't wanna deal with it?

It's both—I don't think anyone really denies that. Of course part of the reason is that you're young and don't want to take care of a kid and I don't think there's anything self-centered about that. That's part of family planning and why should we force someone who doesn't want a kid to have a kid? That's a sure-fire recipe to f--- that kid up if the parents resent them.

I agree with you there—if someone is poor and wants to have kids then they should have kids as long as they're able to afford to take care of them. I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that. I only bring up money because, like in every country in the world, there is extreme poverty in many places where people are already living paycheck to paycheck as it is, and it's impossible for them to properly care for a kid. Not everyone has family members who can afford to help out.

I promise you that there are very few women who "want" to get an abortion. I know women who did not want kids at all (like ever, not even when married and such) who had abortions and they were still sad and conflicted about it. They were on birth control and still got pregnant. It's a last resort by nature, cuz if you get pregnant and didn't know you were pregnant there's not much else you can do besides adoption and not everyone wants to go through pregnancy of childbirth. If they know the condom broke and didn't get plan b and didn't do anything about it, they're definitely morons...but again, why should we force people this stupid to care for a child? And like I said in my previous post, sex ed in the USA is trash and people aren't taught about all the diff birth control and contraception methods and plan b etc.

But at the end of the day the reason a woman wants to get an abortion doesn't really matter, cuz it's her body and life and therefore her choice. And before anyone brings up the covid vaccine in relation to "my body my choice," I'm not pro-vaccine mandate even if I think people should get it. I think people should be able to be in control of their body and healthcare and that includes abortion.

Seems like American sex ed is s---. A majority of parents also think it's "a taboo topic" to talk about with their teenagers.

of course they were morons, everyone is a moron when they're 19 (well idk how old @LasiK and his gf were but I assume around that age and that's also when I had a pregnancy scare with my gf at the time lol). I don't think anyone is debating that, Lasik even basically said so himself in the original post. But why should we give a teenager an 18 year (minimum) responsibility for being irresponsible in the first place?

If we're talking about responsibility, that kid will likely become in part society's responsibility—they'll most likely have to use what little government help is available via tax credits, WIC cards, etc. that come out of your tax dollars. Even if they put up the kid for adoption, whoever fosters or adopts them will likely get a check every month that also comes out of your tax dollars. Even though I have no issue with poor families getting help from the government to support a kid, it's still an unnecessary strain on society to create more mouths to feed in an already overpopulated world just to basically punish a dumb kid. Not to mention the strain and responsibility it puts on family and friends around them who will have to babysit and help take care of the kid cuz the vast majority of teenagers can't afford to support a family on single income or afford daycare on s--- minimum wage jobs.

And sure, if some dumb teenagers keep knocking each other up and getting abortions cuz they're too stupid to understand contraception, they prob do deserve to face repercussions and I don't feel sorry for them if they do. But why would we want someone that f---ing stupid to raise a kid?
