I'll probably he heavily criticized for saying this, but it's common sense.
We don't need new laws reguarding abortions and legal abandonment.
We NEED birth control. Distribution, education, free access... it all needs to be increased. In every language, in every part of our culture, it needs to be taught and followed.
If people were not careless enough to have an unplanned pregnancy, these issues would not exsist.
It's not difficult. If you can't grasp the concept of birth control, then abstinence is the answer. Period.
Obviously nothing but abstinence is 100 percent, so doubling up on methods is a MUST.
And for those who never want children: get yourself fixed ASAP. For the sake of all of us who feel the pain of being an unwanted and/or unplanned child.
My mother had 3 children, the first of which she gave up for adoption. I was raised by her for most of my childhood, but eventually ended up in foster care due to neglect. My younger sister somehow was ignored by the Social Services system and ended up having to stay with her until she was 17.
Personally, I believe that if legal abandonment had been available when I was born, I would have been much better off. I could have had a permanent family, stable home environment, etc.
But I still ultimately blame my parents for being too irresponsible and ignorant in their actions. It all can be traced back to the source.
