Use of Birth Control
Blog 9
Today I am going to discuss with you, the importance of using birth control. I will talk about my experiences, abortion, birth control options, and our personal responsibilities of having control over our reproductive abilities.
When I was 17 my first child was born she was unplanned, when I was 21 my second child was born. When my son was born I realized I had all the children I could handle financially and responsibly. At that time I decided to get a vasectomy to ensure the quality of my children’s lives and the quality of my parenting abilities. Wait a minute!!! That was in 1990 where did this child come from in 1994? The math doesn’t work does it or the vasectomy didn’t work. Well the fact of the matter is that my daughter was adopted by me as a single parent in 1997. I got custody of her in 1996 because her mother or father neither had time or the desire to raise her, but they didn’t think about that when they conceived her. This happens all the time!!!
People we have a responsibility to ourselves, our children, and our society to have control over our reproductive abilities. According to Planned Parenthood of Indiana from 7-2006 to 6-2007 there were 5,160 abortions just in Indiana. Pretty sad thought isn’t it, makes me want to scream out to God and ask why!!!
A large potion of people use a pill as a form of birth control and that is very effective 99% to be accurate. Unfortunately in today’s society we need to consider the possibility of disease so I would advise a condom if you are unfamiliar with your partner as a safety measure. At this time there are no pills for males to use, but scientists are researching that avenue according to howstuffworks.com in a research paper by Stephanie Watson.
Ok so in conclusion thanks to my daughter and the 5,160 abortions that took place we can see what happens when we don’t use birth control. So how do we benefit if we do use birth control? Well for one we don’t have to kill little baby’s. We can make sure we are ready to take the responsibility of parenthood before we have children. And we can control the quality of our families lives and the quality of time we have to spend with 2 or 3 children compared to who knows how many. So please be responsible with the miracle of reproduction that God gave you.
I heard this somewhere one time (anyone can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father) men we are just as responsible as the women so don’t try to push any responsibility off.
