A couple of the posts I read here seemed to suggest that abortions and pregnancy come as a result of irresponsibility. That's basically where my perspective differs. Abortions are an option of birth control that many seem to feel is a little too literal. Honestly, we're overpopulating for our resources and land usage. We're going to need to come up with some systems to maintain what we have or we're going to suffer vast repercussions that effect thousands of children rather than one period of development America clearly finds debatable. So abortion? Sure, okay. But I also think we should be figuring out this whole 2.34 children per family thing when we've millions homeless and starving. Maybe bringing in so many children in a country increasingly strapped for resources is more irresponsible.

I recognize that pregnancy can come from merely being irresponsible, as that's how I had my daughter in high school. However, in many cases unexpected or unwanted pregnancies often come due to a lack of education, poverty, access to birth control, and religious beliefs, all creating external forces that can lead to these situations. The simple fact is that areas in poverty experience higher numbers of accidental pregnancies than otherwise. There's probably a ton of reasons for this, but without going into any of it, it's clear that we're not just talking about people with good sense. We all know there are plenty of middle and upper class people out there who can't manage simple problem solving, empathy, or step by step directions. It's not a matter of knowing better, it's a lot to do with access and education. 

And education isn't just about the skeletal high school basics. We're talking about stacking birth control so that protection is used by both partners. About choosing partners less apt to slip off or tamper with condoms, learning tricks to avoid this sort of foul-play and to see if a product has been modified in any way. We're talking about not slut-shaming and making anyone who is sexually active a pariah or target so you can buy forms of birth control without shame. Humans are sexual creatures. It's an instinct meant to help us survive and labelling people for being sexually active is like calling someone strange for eating. There may be personal, moral associations in your head, but these are separate from the reality of humanity. When we are hungry we eat. Thirsty we drink. There are healthy ways to do these as there are healthy ways with sating your sexual appetites as well. Labelling someone a slut for getting pregnant is more having the lack of vision to realize it's all different shades of physical, and potentially psychological hunger. 

TLDR: Accidental pregnancies happen for a variety reasons. Stop shaming what your body does naturally. The Accidental part is the problem, so let's make solutions more accessible and user-friendly. Slut-shaming is clearly not working!

[quote=TheNewGirl]Lots of thoughts come to my mind. Women who find themselves pregnant by accident are idiots and most likely whores. It probably sounds crazy coming from a girl, but It's true.[/quote] 

Doesn't sound crazy at all, just extremely judgemental. Most likely whores? Does this account for many who experience faulty systems of birth control or are tricked into using tampered forms? How about the restriction of birth control to youth without parent consent, an issue still prevalent throughout the US. Maybe the stigma put on simply buying birth control, that being safe somehow makes you a whore. Actually, what about that whore part? Is that supposed to be some sort of insult to those who are sexually active? Who are you, or any of us to judge those who choose to have sex or not to have sex? Is someone who drinks alcohol occasionally then suffers liver damage or cancer suddenly a lush? Someone who drives and experiences an accident a horrid driver? See, things aren't black-and-white. In high school I had a GPA of 3.78 and was earning college credit as a Junior (attending college full-time as a Senior). I graduated with honours from college boasting an Associates by 19 and a Bachelors at 21. I represented both high schools I attended to represent my student body when meeting our governor. Oh right, and my daughter was born when I was 16. Her mother has experienced much of the same success too, not an 'idiot' or a 'whore' by any stretch of the imagination. So hold up, what exactly are you basing all this hate on?
