Why is a 17 year old having kids?
Do you have any idea how intentionally bad sex ed is in places?
places = u.s.a for those that didn't know
Yes, this post is referencing the US but if you think that's the only place sex ed is non-existent you're very mistaken.
yeah i know but its one of the top names in having absolutely no excuse
because most of the United States is a developing country, and it's mostly "developing" backwards.
Life happens. A mistake of heaving sex too early doesn't mean that caring for a child and loving them is a mistake.
Sounds kinky.
And abortion not allowed.
As somone who had kids and loves kids, it absolutely is a mistake. It doesn't mean she can't / won't love the kid, but we need better sex ed and contraceptive accessibility for everyone.
People like her still need our support, but we also need to make sure these kind of accidents happen as little as possible. Now her life will be multiple times harder than it should be and the child's life will also be multiple times harder than it should be.
So you would tell that child they are a mistake? Or are you referencing my comment that "doesn’t mean that caring for a child and loving them is a mistake" and thus caring for this child is a mistake?
Not putting word in your mouth, simply pointing out that you are responding to my comment by saying "it absolutely is a mistake."
Its a mystery - why would a hypercapitalist society increasingly dependent on manual labour destroy education, destroy workers rights, remove the ability to abort unwanted pregnancies and make prisoners legal slaves?
