At that time of choice, our choice has been made. If it is our desire together or separately not to produce a child, then we have to take the responsible action to prevent that result. Another fool proof option is abstinence. Many people in today's society have a difficult time accepting this basic concept of freedom and responsibility which are inseparable. Some of our baby boom, permissive generation of the 60s and 70s cannot relate to being responsible for the results of their sexual activity.
Freedom is a precious right in all aspects.
However, we must take full responsibility for it or we will lose it as happened in China. The Chinese people not only lost their bid for freedom, but are penalized if they have more than one child. Let us not abuse our freedom but use it with responsibility. Abortion is not a responsible use of our freedom. Comprehensive sex education in our schools, homes and religious institutions is absolutely necessary for the formation of a sexually responsible free society.
