I am so sick of hearing that a father often times does not have a choice when it comes to being a father. Whenever I hear this, I want to simply yell, scream and literally pull my hair in frustration. Why you ask? The way I see it common sense is yet again not being used when it comes to sex and the consequences of deciding to engage in it. Okay boys and girls, quick sex education quiz. What are two common outcomes when you engage in sex period? Ding, ding, ding, we have an answer. That's right, sexually transmitted diseases and parenthood.

Granted there are a lot of circumstances that we probably aren't aware of surrounding how these partiular men became fathers. It might be quite possible that this particular woman said that she couldn't get pregnant or maybe she said she was on the pill. I can see why they would feel tricked into becoming a father but in no way can they say that they didn't have a choice and that their rights are being trampled on. Their choice came and passed on the night, or nights that you engaged in sexual intercourse with the woman that is now carrying their child. Whether it's your longtime girlfriend or some girl you just happened to pick up at the bar, the way I see it is there is only one way that you can be insured that you aren't going to become a father that night and that is to put it bluntly keep it in your pants. Abstinence isn't only the number one way but the only way that you can prevent any and all unwanted pregnancy. If you do chose to go home with her anyway, however, by all means bring your own insurance policy, enough of your own condoms to get you through the night. That way you know that they aren't old or worst yet expired. Who cares if she says she is on the pill or she thinks that she can't be pregnant, women are just as bad as men when it comes to being on the level when it comes to sex and they may or may not be lying to you.

Secondly, remember that there is such a thing as accidental pregnancies. That is why both condoms and birth control aren't considered to be a hundered percent effective. Some of my friends have gotten pregnant despite the fact that they were on birth control and using a condom. Surprised, so were they. You see, they thought if they used them together that it would be over a hundred percent effective but any medical professional would tell you that this theory is not plausible. The same goes for people who have fertitlity problems. Keep in mind when someone tells you this, you should look
