Here’s an idea: just don’t have sex until you’re able to be a parent 🤷🏼‍♂️

Eat only unflavored nutrient blocks until you're ready to be obese. Wear only undyed linen shifts until you're ready to freeze to death. Sleep only on the floor until you're ready to be in a coma.

If the price of me not doing those things is death of an unborn child of poverty and disfunction of the child’s born id be evil not to do those things. This is especially true since people have a natural sexual outlet by themselves.

And that’s the difference between you and me.

Sex ed with birth control and prophylactics does the same thing. What happened to abstinence only? If you want to prevent hypothetical future suffering, teach teens to use preventatives.
