Plan B for 17 Year Olds.

Thank goodness I read some of the amazing Catholic mom blogs I do because I wouldn't find out half the things that are going on around here. Thanks to Modern Catholic Mom for the post about Plan B. However I had to share this article because these kind of things infuriate me and maybe of some interest to those that didn't read it.

It makes me sad that people really believe that there is no such thing as self control and abstinence when it comes to sex. If you "mess up" in other words and get pregnant (which is what's intended when you have sex - isn't it working if you get pregnant?) then you can quickly take a pill to get rid of "your mess up" (the baby.) How can our society be so backwards, so confused.

Lets just tell our 17 year olds and every other 'child' that it's okay to have sex, random sex for that matter, do whatever you want because you do not have to have any responsibility, you don't have to worry about anything because you can just rid yourself of the baby. Oh goodness - lets just place condoms on our counters for our children to take as they head out the door (yes I had a college instructor who did this) just 'incase'. This is the only way - really - no self respect for your body, your future spouse, your future children, whatever.

I really think a lot of times - if you don't have some sort of religion in your life, something to keep your grounded and understanding what life is all about - then it's easy to get caught up in all of this - it's easy to think that what society is telling us is absolutely okay. Oh and I just wish that people would really 'look' into what each form of birth control does - hmm - if people don't even understand how a baby is really made, then how many aborted babies are there really? I'm glad I have my Faith.

I think I'll take my family and hop into my bubble now.
