Talking about pregnancy

When my daughter began menstruation we talked about sex. She already knew the basics, but the discussion was about the social/psychological aspect.

We talked about what would happen if she became pregnant now or even when she was in high school and what were the alternatives: adoption, abortion, raising the child.

We knew of adoptions gone wrong there were cons as well as pros to this often quoted solution. Raising a child while still a child seemed to have only cons. Abortion solved a set of problems but was a horrible solution.

The upshot and solution was safe sex. 

However, once into adulthood, an unwanted pregnancy, which can happen, leads to the same three bad alternatives. It is a lifetime decision, one that the woman lives with the rest of her life. No one, no government has the right to make that decision for a woman.
