I’m 17 and lost my virginity at 15 years old. At the time, I thought, and still think, that 15 was way too young. There’s something about the age of 15 that still seems innocent and childish. In 2 months I am expecting the birth of my first child – a baby girl. At first, the news of being a father at the age of 17 was not a very pleasent concept, but as the countdown to my girlfriends due date gets closer, I’m engulfed in excitement. No one – not my parents, friends, relatives – were happy about this unexpected pregnancy, but we soldiered on and got over it. I realized quickly that a baby couldn’t be born into a world of resentment, humans need love and affection to be able to live. I’ve been with my girlfriend for 2 years. I lost my virginity to her and havn’t had sex with anyone else. Before she got pregnant we had sex on a regular basis. Abortion was always an option. I live in America, anything is always an option. I respect the decision most teenage girls make who chose that particular route. You have to understand most girls get pregnant and their boyfriend leaves them, an abortion is the best option. At all of the clinics and OB/GYN medical offices my girlfriend and I go to for appointments, doctors are quick to tell me that I’m the first boy they’ve seen at these appointments. I’m proud of that. Whether you are pro-choice or ‘pro-life’ depends on your definition of ‘life.’ I put pro-life in quotations because that term is pretty vague. What is life? Who defines life? In all states in America it is illegal to get an abortion after a cetain period of time. Before that, however, the questions persists – is an embryo life? Depending on the propoganda you listen to or read, your definition of life or knoqledge of the abortion process probably differs. Why attack Planned Parenthood? All their organization is doing is proving options for teenagers who need them. My school has a partnership with Planned Parenthood. They sponsor meetings for the pregnant girls at our school, not to push abortion, but to inform them of the path they are about to travel, to teach them parenting techniques and to give them the knowledge of pregnancy they can’t get anywhere else. With that said, stop preaching to me. I’m sick of people who are so called compassionates, people who are anti-abortion, but chose not to support pregnant teenagers because they look down upon them.
