You Said A mouthful there
We need to accept the burden and carry it gracefully. I know that it is trite and a worn saying that none of us "asked to be born" but that is the truth. Once a life is brought into the world our former life "suddenly takes a back seat" and there is no getting around it if we call ourselves responsible. We are on the same track when we talk about the those who are having babies who are not teenagers. Teenagers have children. Yes! But, just as you pointed out, the larger problem comes among the unmarried adults who are having children. I know things happen, but in an age when the arsenal of birth control methods are well known and available, there is no excuse. You need to take this one on in a column.
