Many studies have linked poor contraceptive use to conflicted feelings about pregnancy.

    • EverChanging,

      I hope that you did not take my remarks above in the wrong way:)

      I said the above to my neice, being very careful while being totally shocked at hearing it.

      In any event, I say to you this...

      In the face of all who are for abortion you have courage to bear your child.

      May God Bless you and your family!

      I did not take offense at all :)

      I was just making an observation from the video and I thought it was interesting that that is exactly what happened to me.

      I actually agree with your original post and think that that is excellent advice to give your niece and nephew. People tend to allow things/events that happen to them, weigh them down and let it ruin their life, but for me you have to see the positive in everything. I am one who believes that everything has a purpose and a reason for happening even if it seems really bad. These things must happen to us so we can learn and grow from these experiences.

      Getting pregnant for me was needed. Before I had little faith and distrusted people. I hated the world. But the moment I found out I was pregnant that clichéd light bulb came on. I have always wanted to do something good for the world, to make it better and one way I found out I can do that is to raise my son into a compassionate, loving, and understanding person and hopefully one day he can spread that same love to someone else and so on and so forth.

      Thank you for your encouragement and positive blessings!

    • Holy crap! I am a passive romanticizer! I am pregnant right now and that is basically how I got pregnant. We did not plan it but did not stop it either. But despite that fact my fiancée and I are extremely happy and I believe this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never wanted to have children before but since becoming pregnant my life has done a complete 180. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life and I have much more motivation to do well in life so that I can give my son the best life.

      Go Passive Romanization of Procreation!

    • This is the advice that I have given my 14 year old neice and 12 year old nephew and I will repeat it several times in the next few years:

      "Look at all the problems that people get themselves into and decide that you won't let that happen to you"

    • I can't believe the votes are 50/50 on this! Nuts! It is shocking that modern U.S. women still have such conflict with sex, pregnancy and what that means and how it can impact everyone's lives around them!
      I think the biggest obstacle is sex education. I was fortunate enough to have great sex ed in school and it has helped myself and my friends know what we want. This is a choice! This takes effort and thought. If you don't have the presence of mind to consider yourself and any offspring you bring into the world then maybe you shouldn't be having sex to begin with. Respect yourself!
