Almost two months have past and school has already gotten onto its usual track, the busy and unstoppable schedule of work training and assignments. But amidst all these hectic and mundane schedule, i had picked up this little habit of blogging recently and this is going to be my first post.
To start off, i shall talk about an article that i have read online regarding a proposal to legalize underage sex while focusing on birth controls. Personally, i think that it is not a very good idea as introducing contraceptive methods is simply not enough as underage sex all that is protecting is trying to stop two consensual human beings from doing something by themselves, and responsibility of having to raise a child. If we just teach them birth controls method, it will not help as the teenagers may not apply it during sexual intercourse too. Banning underage sex will be a good idea as it will completely eliminate the chances of preventing underage pregnancy. In addition, we have to have limits to protect those who shouldn't be making life changing decisions until they are of legal age. Besides that, a teenager will not know what she is really doing during sexual intercourse. For example, a 15 years old girl may not be really enjoying the intimacy that she shared with her love ones during sexual intercourse but did it merely because of peer pressure. At the same time, if the girl is pregnant, her sexual partner may not want to bear responsibility for the child and when this happens, they may resort to abortion. There has been cases when abortion were induced by drugs rather than surgical procedures to prevent anyone from discovering the abortion. It is very dangerous as it brings much more harm to the female body than surgical procedures. Besides that, clinical research provides a growing body of scientific evidence that having an abortion can cause psychological harm to some women.
"Women who report negative after-effects from abortion know exactly what their problem is," observed psychologist Wanda Franz, Ph.D., in a March 1989 congressional hearing on the impact of abortion. "They report horrible nightmares of children calling them from trash cans, of body parts, and blood," Franz told the Congressional panel. Hence, i think that underage sex shall not be legalize to prevent unbearable consequences from happening.
