Abortion

In response to Doug's second statement I feel that we can look into stopping people from having premarital sex in the first place because their not ready, which would stop the effects and conclusions of premarital sex. As a Christian I am commanded to “Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed” (Prov. 31:8). Hebrews 13:4 also says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." These problems that couples face may be their judgement for their immoral acts. Lots of teens are put in the situation that they could have premarital sex, but none of them really know about the consequences. Did you know that 50% of the people who currently have HIV are between the ages of 15 and 24? Using a condom only reduces the risk of contracting HIV by 85%. Condoms do not significantly reduce the risk of contracting other sexually transmitted diseases. If a teenager takes these statistics into consideration when making your decision I feel there choice would be different.  Most people don't consider the emotional effects of premarital sex. You see, sex is an emotional experience and it affects our lives in ways we don't understand. After engaging in premarital sex, many people express feelings of guilt, embarrassment, distrust, resentment, lack of respect, tension, and so much more. Now that's why they shouldn't have sex before marriage. Now if they do slip up then there are some things other than Abortion that could be options. Adoption is a very easy safe way to still have the baby and give life to a couple who cannot have it themselves. Adoption Doctors.com says adoption "can be a healthy, realistic, and sensible choice for all the parties involved in the adoption triad (birth parent, adoptive parent and adopted child). Adoption is a selfless, loving gesture from a brave woman who has dreams for a child to have a forever family".
