I also looked for some type of bcontrol which I found out was the ryhthm method and abstinence or in rare cases a young man who had the nerve to go and ask for rubbers as they were called, they had to ask the pharmacist who then would judge if they would give them out to him. <BR/><BR/>Embarrassing to a young man having sex but also a way to keep young women from getting protection they needed. <BR/><BR/>My boyfriend never used protection. <BR/><BR/>I found out what was going to happen to me by going through exams with the Dr. who usually did not tell me anything. <BR/><BR/>I also had a labor where I administered a gas to myself when pains came on this was at the end of my delivery of my baby. <BR/><BR/>This era the BSE was just absurd.<BR/>NO birth control, no help if one got pregnant, just the helping themselves to my baby!<BR/><BR/>Archaic, practices, and I guess they thought this would keep young teens from having sex? <BR/><BR/>Didn't happen sex is a natural act especially if one is in a relationship that I felt was <BR/>going to lead to our marriage.<BR/><BR/>What made sex unnatural was those who had other ideas to make it unnatural by condemning women for having sex, taking the baby for a another usually an infertile and not giving a young woman a chance to parent. <BR/><BR/>Criminal, inhumane, and cruel.<BR/><BR/>Now that I am thinking about it 42 years later I think those in power males maybe were trying to protect the young males that did have sex and got a girl pg. <BR/><BR/>After all they called it free love, guess that was no strings attached for the male and the mother relived of her baby without a choice.<BR/><BR/>Stupid me,I thought I was in love thats the difference between guys and girls. The guys think with their penis and girls think with their hearts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-46152418939780217262008-07-16T16:36:00.000-02:002008-07-16T16:36:00.000-02:00Robin,I feel there is no reason nowadays to get pr...Robin,<BR/><BR/>I feel there is no reason nowadays to get pregnant. None, whatsoever. If one does get pregnant there are so many more choices and that means having a choice between two or more things. A choice to do what is right for you and your baby!<BR/><BR/>If a woman doesn't want to be a parent,,take precautions!!!<BR/><BR/>My granddaughters will have a lot of options I never had but I want ALL seven to be able to make a choice should she find herself pregnant same goes for my grandsons all four of them, although, their situation is depends on a lot of things, mostly the pg woman. <BR/><BR/>At least my grandkids won't have to go through life, like I did for years, being separated from my son,then finding him alive, but still living with the lifetime of pain that goes with that loss. <BR/><BR/>I would never want anyone to have to go through what we have along with the pain our babies suffered.<BR/><BR/>As long as the religious crazies stay out of a woman's business they will be ok. Along with good birth control measures which teens are not taught. Hoping my "religious" granddaughter is NOT having sex like she claims. I know how fast that can change and it only takes one time. She was conceived that way. Her parents weren't teens they were mature 20 pluses and still had an unplanned pregnancy with forced marriage followed by a divorce.<BR/><BR/>ggAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
