I recently saw someone’s blog with a list of ten things they would tell their daughter about sex. And on one of those, it said: “abortion is perfectly ok”. Now, I respect her views and I am not one to preach to you. But at this, I had to disagree. I am completely against abortion. Not only do I think it’s an “easy” way out, but I feel that it is also MURDER.
Have these girls not ever seen those abortion pictures? Even the ones that show a fetus at 4 weeks (the point when most women find out they are pregnant), they have TINY FINGERS, TINY TOES, AND LITTLE EYES. Oh, and PULSE! Which means a heart, ladies. Now, I understand that some people out there don’t believe that it’s a person, but if all those things don’t count as a living person, then what does? I guess if you don’t count that as being a person, it’s ok for someone to kill us all because they don’t want us, huh?
I understand that there are certain circumstances that would cause people to say “Well, what if they were raped?” Well, just like it wasn’t their fault that they were raped, that baby had no fault in being created. It had no choice. So until they do have that choice, who are you to take it away from them? Who are you to not give them the right to live? If you don’t want the baby, give it to someone who does
.
I also think that abortion is an excuse for young girls to have sex. “Well, if something ever did happen and I ended up pregnant, I could just get rid of it.” Wrong. If you think that you're old enough to be having sex, then you better be old enough to deal with the consequences.
But that’s just MY opinion. I don’t knock on anyone who has had an abortion though. Whatever their reasons. A friend of mine had two, and even though I didn’t agree with her decision, I still love her. So don’t think that I’m out trying to persecute anyone. I’m just expressing how I felt about the topic.
So here are my TEN things I will tell my daughter about SEX:
- You can start having sex when you hit the same age mommy was when she first started having sex. (I was two weeks away from my 19th birthday)
- If you are having sex, don’t think that abortion will be an option. So be ready for the consequences.
- Your virginity IS something special, so don’t just give it to anyone. Just because a guy says he loves you today, doesn’t mean he will tomorrow. Be careful.
- A lot of guys WILL tell you they love you, just to get into your pants.
- Don’t have sex just to keep a guy with you. Never works out.
- Make sure YOU are ready. It is a very emotional thing.
- Now once you do start having sex, I will be more than glad to get you birth control and condoms. I’d rather you be safe and I know that you’re doing this so you can talk if you need to than you NOT be safe because you’re too scared to tell me.
- Pulling out does NOT mean safe sex and it does not mean you won’t get pregnant.
- Having a child is NOT awful, but when your not ready and when your still so young, it can make things harder. For you and the child.
- No matter what, I LOVE YOU. And you can always come to me for anything.
