Ooopsie!!!! Again...?

Why is Birth Control such a complex idea? Why is it difficult to understand that sexual intercourse leads to making a child? Why do people think they are immune to accidents?

I’m finding it difficult to understand why people think they are exempt from biology. People are taught in school, as early as 6th grade, that sexual intercourse can lead to pregnancy if precautions are not taken. There are commercials for condoms, birth controls, and Plan B options on almost every channel! It absolutely baffles me that people are so shocked when they get pregnant after they only implement the “Pull OUT” method. (Worst method ever).

So that being said there are still those people who use contraceptive incorrectly, or they may be part of that 1% ineffective rate. So if someone has an “Accident” wouldn’t you expect them to learn from that accident? Like begin taking double the precautions as usual? (PS double precaution is not wearing two condoms at once… that will result in tearing quicker than wearing one.) Taking a high dose birth control pill (and taking it regularly) along with using condoms would be better than just one option if you are someone who already has one unplanned child.

I never quite understand how people manage to have multiple “oopsie” kids (especially with multiple partners)…. The worst part is that the people who are having all these kids are those who can’t afford themselves, let alone multiple little mouths to feed. It really baffles me the idea that people are okay to bring children into the world on food stamps and welfare.

I have so much respect for couples who plan having children, or at  least those who are well off enough to not be struggling before realizing they will now tack on 10,0000+ dollars a year for the next 18 years. It may seem a bit ridiculous to expect that children should be brought into the world by two loving parents (regardless of sexual orientation). People these days are so careless about their sex lives, their offspring are left to suffer with struggling parents who cannot afford the clothes on their own backs.

I realize accidents happen, and there are unfortunate situations, but there are options for that… Keeping the child in your care is not always the best option. There are tons of loving gay couples who are dying to bring a child into their families and cannot, due to lack of “resources.” I would much prefer seeing all these accidental pregnancies turn into blessings for families who have the means to take care of the child, rather than the child knowing first world hunger and dirty hand-me-downs.     

I know there will be a lot of single mothers who will disagree with these sentiments, but I have made it clear I intend to say how I feel regardless of who I offend. (Sorry not Sorry). Some single moms can pull through and create a decent life for their children, but there are more who are unable to pull through and turn it around.
