Alright, I just went one of the local Planned Parenthood branches in St. Louis. They gave me a free HIV and STD screening as well as a consultation with a Nurse Practitioner. I was granted A YEAR of FREE BIRTH CONTROL! I spent less than one hour at the clinic and had a pleasant experience in their clean and comfortable facility.
With b.c. this accessible, I wonder why more sexually active females are not using it? Yes, I understand some people are actually TRYING to have a baby- my best to you and yours, good luck.
Some people also have their religious views and practice their religion in a church that claims that birth control is wrong because it prevents God’s children from coming into the world. This church also says that sex is supposed to be a mutual act of shared love between two MARRIED ADULTS. So if you don’t use b.c. because the church says its wrong- then you shouldn’t be having sex anyway. **Can’t pick and choose which rules you want to abide by! If a “Christian” woman is having sex,it must be with her husband; she must be married, right?
But many young females are having unprotected sex and find themselves in a sticky situation when they become PREGNANT!
Oh- you didn’t want a baby? but you just haaad to have sex? Why weren’t you using protection?
Here’s the website for Planned Parenthood:

I AM NOT AN EXPERT! Please consult your doctor or medical for advice on which birth control method will work best for you!
The MOST EFFECTIVE form of birth control-
As Jerry Springer would say “Take care of yourself, take care of each other.”
How many more young, unprepared teenagers do we need having babies?
The decision to have sex should be mutual and mature, if you are not ready for a baby, you should not be having sex.
