Abortion isn't rare. It happens All. The. Time. Mostly because women are irresponsible. |
Women and men...
Boys and girls.
I was raised in an old school style upbringing.
Not only did my father open my eyes to how much it costs to raise a kid, the fact if I was old enough to do the deed I was old enough to put a ring on the girls finger be out in a month after finding out and raise my screw up on my own.
Between that and the fact there are diseases out there for which there is NO cure... yeah I was not a fool I wrapped my tool.
One of my closest friends was entrapped by his ex girlfriend. He wanted to break up with her for being a control freak. She stopped taking the pill... and didn't tell him... he's been paying child support since he was 17 years old and been battling in court over custody issues and all sorts of nonsense on her end... her plan backfired thinking he'd still want to be with her... when that didn't work and the paternity test revealed he was the father... and he wouldn't continue to play house with her....
Hell hath no fury like a chick scorned.
If he was 10 minutes late to drop the kid off... she called the cops.
If he was running late to pick the kid up she wouldn't let him take the kid. Citing he's too busy and will probably ignore the kid... tried the whole unfit to be a parent without supervised visits etc...
If I were to get a chick pregnant I'm raising that kid to the best of my abilities. That's always been my outlook on it. Whether me and the chick I was with worked out or not. It isn't fair to the kid to bring them into the world without providing for them.
Abortion was only an option if and only if there was no way feasible to raise a kid.
Adoption? Nah. No kid deserves to grow up believing they're useless worthless so much so their parents gave them away.
But in today's day and age? The schools, the social media, the video games, TV all raise kids.
Doubt it?
Take note how many times you see kids playing outdoors and doing things with their parents or other kids...
You might see that in areas with economic hardship like trailer parks, housing projects, poor neighborhoods etc. Where the parents can't afford a playstation/xbox, smart phones for their 8 year olds.
I saw it both in NY and here in South Florida. There are town/city parks galore down here. I've yet to see kids shooting hoops playing on the playgrounds etc.
When I was a kid in the 90s at least every other house on the block had a basketteball hoop in the driveway... parents came home and played with their kids or watched them from their porch. The worst were the parents who thought their kids were fragile as glass and would scream at us if we climbed trees or built ramps and jumped bikes and god forbid if a skateboard came out... oh skateboards were verboten to the busybody worry warts. That was in a suburban area.
Moved up to the sticks...
Replace bicycles with ATVs dirt bikes and snowmobiles.
Replace basketteball with football or soccer or baseball.
Fathers taking their sons fishing and hunting or if they had the property out in the woods to shoot targets.
Nowadays? Pfft. I see vacant parks all over the place. Not a kid in sight...
