Sadly, the majority think early sexual activity is harmless. this is the extension of the 60's mentality to do what you want. I don't know how we'll turn it around. Only by coming to terms w/ God's design for human sexuality and realizing that His plan is trustworthy will things change.

I am not sure how to teach my children adequately enough to prepare them for the evil that will surround them. I agree with your sentiments exactly, and am a little sad that you had to add that disclaimer. I honestly cannot see how anyone could get mad at you for your opinion, but I know there are crazy people out there who would. Sigh.

Just like everything else it can be abused. In instances of rape or abuse I absolutely agree with the morning after pill, and maybe something like who takes the morning after pill should be tracked and maybe we can try and crack down on abuse and rape in this country because it just breaks me heart and makes me absolutely sick. I feel so helpless I feel like there is nothing that can be done, what's going to happen is going to happen and people like me who wish for a better world for my children is helpless against the evil that is out there. It makes me happy on the other hand to know that there are people out there with my same values and views. For that I am greatful!<br />Randomlicious Memoirshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855803298328753998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-49567599150473581432013-05-08T17:41:47.087-07:002013-05-08T17:41:47.087-07:00All I can say is AMEN!All I can say is AMEN!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065195610270532889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-10691444384944850882013-05-08T17:04:10.496-07:002013-05-08T17:04:10.496-07:00I've debated commenting, as I have a view that...I've debated commenting, as I have a view that is different from yours and those that have already commented. You know me, and you know that I respect every persons feelings and thoughts, so hope you take this comment as it's meant - from someone on the opposite side.<br /><br />By the age of 15, I was in the 5th year of being abused, and pregnancy was an extreme worry of mine. It was not an option for me to tell my parents of the abuse (long story for another day), and so I was responsible for taking matters into my own hands. There were many times that I had to walk my own self into the drug store to purchase my own pregnancy test. No, it shouldn't have been like that, but those were the cards I was dealt. For me, the morning after pill would've created an immense amount of safety and and reassurance for me. I can say that in my situation, it would've been beneficial to have this option.<br /><br />But as I do for everyone that speaks their feelings and thoughts, I applaud you for speaking your truth. I know that it's not easy ... good for you, for doing so!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166689236909570817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-88582515271644842392013-05-08T14:56:44.410-07:002013-05-08T14:56:44.410-07:00i'm sorry that i can't make a more thought...i'm sorry that i can't make a more thoughtful comment but this hit way to close to home for me to even think much less comment..sorry Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213055916162799647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-6559916526242785902013-05-08T14:30:08.486-07:002013-05-08T14:30:08.486-07:00Oh my gosh Emmy you are so right and I'm with ...Oh my gosh Emmy you are so right and I'm with ya all the way sista!

I'd really like to think my kids won't be having sex at that age. But if they do, I want them to think about things like responsibility and not just think oh well, we can be irresponsible tonight and my girlfriend can go take a pill tomorrow, no big deal. It seems to trivialize the decision to have sex and to do so responsibly.

When there was a void in my life I figured I needed a boy to fill it. The sad thing is, all those voids were just a crazy flux of hormones and nothing more.
