Together, we came to the agreement that an abortion was the right path for us to take. I only hope that she is as happily married as I am. The punishment for irresponsible spontaneous sexual activity should not be a lifetime sentence of guilt and misery. This raises another question. I find it ironic that so many of the opponents of abortion also oppose sex education programs, and, in some cases, the very use of all forms of contraception short of abstinence.
People engage in sexual relations for all types of reasons.
In the best of cases, it is because they are in love with one another. However, this is not always the case. Not every sperm or egg is on a mission from God to reproduce itself. Sometimes, pregnancy occurs as a result of a mistake or failed contraception. As one person has told me, he has a child for every form of contraception that did not work right.
