Leo - your view is very comendable - and I don't mean this is a patronising manner. I think your view is very 'black or white' when in reality, in life there are many shades of grey. Are you a parent, I wonder? I have 2 children - boys - they are hard work sometimes. Not everyone has the skills, the moral fibre, even, the cope with the demands of parenthood. Some people are selfish, other recognise their own limitations. Being a parent is a tough job, there are no 'days off', the day starts at 0600 day in day out. You have to give so much of yourself to another. Some people thrive on this, others don't. In an ideal world everyone would have contraception that worked 100% of the time. Fact is, it doesn't. Presumably you are opposed to the morning after pill or a coil being fitted after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy? There are no magic answers, we all live with the consequencse of our actions and within our personal limitations. I think it's worth remembering this. How ever hard one tries, sometimes it's not enough. I wouldn't wish an unwanted child on anyone, not for the child or for the parent.
