My mom had NO idea how any of that stuff worked. She got pregnant the very first time she had sex. She and I were very lucky, but not every kid out there has the same kind of resources we had. I'm lucky I had a mom who was able to turn her life around. Many, many children out there don't.

I don't like abortion, but I like the alternatives even less. I wish every child could be born into a family that loved, anticipated, and prepared for them. Life doesn't always happen that way, I understand.

Forcing ignorance on people never works. I had good sex education--- as the daughter of a single mother, my family made sure of that. It didn't fill me with the need to frot everything in sight-- I understood what the consequences were and had no interest. In contrast, all the sexuall repressed religious kids I grew up with were having sex at 11 and all sorts of terrible, horrible things their parents never knew.

I digress. It's just a personal trigger. I get tired of hearing that every woman that ever has sex is a goddamn whore, too.
