When you think about it, having a baby means committing the next 20 or so years of one's life to raising and nurturing that child to maturity. The commitment must be made willingly and with the determination to follow through and actually do it. We all know men who have walked away and ignored the responsibility of raising the child they started. But women can't and won't walk away. It could possibly ruin a woman's life if she's not mature, financially okay and emotionally stable enough see it through.
Unwanted pregnancies can happen at any time, but they seem to occur more often to women who are young, fragile, and unprepared to face the consequences. Again, the men involved can walk away without a care, but the woman could be devastated. It's not up to us to judge, we should be compassionate and understanding. Whether or not I'm willing or able to be a parent is nobody's choice except mine.
