Very true.
Young men and women in this country ought to be taught that sex can lead to babies, even when birth control is used, and that unless they are prepared to marry and raise a child together should pregnancy result from premarital sex, they shouldn't be having it to begin with.
I will not lie; my now-husband and I were not virgins when we went to the altar. We were, however, prepared to marry immediately if a pregnancy had resulted before marriage. We both believe that children need a mom and dad who love each other and love their kid(s).
Best wishes to Ms. Lynch, and I hope she has a pregnancy and birth free of complications. I also hope that she and her boyfriend do the right thing and provide that baby with a family in which to be born and raised. Just because s/he was concieved out of wedlock doesn't mean the child must be born out of wedlock.
Hear, hear!
