While you're obviously right that one can plan to become pregnant, that doesn't make unplanned pregnancies a non-issue. So, that safety net is beneficial.
- ummonk 8y agoWhether an unplanned pregnancy results in parenthood is a planned choice.
- bacon_waffle 8y agoIt's not always a choice. And even where there is a choice, it's not an easy one.
- engineeringwoke 8y agoA couple in their early 30's just meet up after getting home from work. The wife, nervous, approaches her husband and says, "I have something to tell you". She pauses, taking in the moment, and him. "I'm pregnant". Is that an easy moment for you? If she has an abortion, then chances are higher that she could never have a child again. It's not just a "choice". Christ.
