I strongly feel that BOTH sexes need to take responsibility! I think that today society as a whole would agree - but that message can take a long time to get through to some guys!

Well you are right of course they should but as a mother and a woman, from the minute I became pregnant with both my children I hoped that they would have good responsible fathers but I committed to look after and be responsible for them either way as I was the one carrying them and bringing them into this world.

You sound a very strong, level-headed person - with hopefully a good support network - but, unfortunately, it isn't the same for everyone!

Well, I can tell you I wasn't so strong or level headed when I got pregnant with my daughter but yeah I did have good support from my family. Tbh, I think having my daughter was the best thing that could've happened cos I was a bit out of control up until then. But I do understand what you're saying and like I said before I'm not completely against abortion as such, I just think that it should be a serious thing to do for people and I realize it is for most people but not for everyone which I do find disgusting.

Yes - I agree that nobody should be using abortion as a form of contraception! I like to think that the type of people doing that are in the minority - and there definitely should be sanctions of some kind for those people!
