A colleague of mine who left the office yesterday(Sunday 18th Feb. 2013) in very high spirit came to work today (Monday 18th Feb. 2013) really sad..

When asked why; he explained that he just lost his sister ( a 200 level student in the university). She dead as a result of complications after aborting a pregnancy.

Meanwhile a few days ago, a friend told me he just got news from his "fiancé" that she's pregnant and he (my friend) is insisting she abort the pregnancy.

These two recent incidences make me wonder why anyone (including married couples) in this age and time will get pregnant and then consider aborting the pregnancy.

I am an apostle of abstinence.I must admit that I have not achieve the desired success in preaching abstinence hence, this thread

But for crying -out loud, if you can't abstain, do the right thing......

Just type in CONTRACEPTIVES into google or any search engine on the internet and learn.
Experience has shown that ladies/girls are usually at the receiving side of 101% of all the troubles that come with unwanted pregnancies.

So my sister why expose yourself.

If you can be on Nairaland;
You can use the internet;
if you can use the internet then you have no excuse of becoming pregnant when you are not ready.

Even if you let down your guards and had unprotected sex when you are not prepared, you have a wholesome 72 hours to stop that pregnancy.

Just Google “how to stop (or prevent) pregnancy in 72 hours”…..

It is important to note that it is not only the female folks that should learn about contraceptives.
Guys should also learn about contraceptives and use them and encourage their partners to use them instead of waiting till the harm is done and then start insisting on abortion or paternity test (after the baby is born).

PLEASE LETS STOP THE MADNESS; IT BEGINS WITH YOU!

In summary, 'if you can't do the time, don't commit the crime'.

and the morning after pill isn't 100% effective either....

Boss

Circumstance.i dont do contraceptives,i use de natural method and since i'm very careful i ve never being pregnant but i dont judge ppl who ve had one before cos u never know till u get into dat situation n u run out of options.

101 ways not to get pregnant:

Well OK, maybe 101 was a bit of an exaggeration but follow these suggestions and you will stand a good chance of not getting pregnant...

>>>>Don't have sex without a condom - If you do you will not only stand a good chance of getting pregnant you will also be at risk of catching a nasty sexually transmitted infection!

>>>>Don't miss a daily contraceptive pill - It is advisable to use condoms and the pill together. However, if you do just use the pill you will risk pregnancy if you forget to take one or more. If this happens, you must use condoms and the pill for the rest of the pill cycle.

>>>>Don't take your daily contraceptive pill at irregular times - This lowers the effectiveness of the pill so you should always take it at the same time each day.

>>>>Don't have unprotected sex during your period - A lot of people think that whilst you are on your period you can't get pregnant... that is totally wrong! So work on the assumption that there is never a "safe time" to have unprotected sex.

>>>>Don't think pulling out before ejaculation can prevent pregnancy - Treat a penis like a loaded gun... it's always dangerous, so protect it with a condom at all times!

>>>>Don't think that it's OK to rub an unprotected penis around the outside of a vagina - It's still possible for some sperm to get inside.

>>>>Don't allow either partner's fingers to touch his penis then enter her vagina - even before ejaculation some sperm can be present.

>>>>Don't let fingers that have touched a penis touch the outside of a condom - sperm could be transferred to the condom and then get inside the vagina.

>>>>Don't leave a penis inside a vagina too long after ejaculation - It is always best to withdraw straight after ejaculation as a common cause for condoms coming off inside is when the penis has gone down and the condom is no longer a tight fit.

>>>>Don't have sex if you think all this is too much to remember! - It's easy to make a mistake in the heat of the moment so make sure this knowledge is second nature so you don't have to think about it!

>>>Emergency contraception Emergency contraception is available to women who have had unprotected sex. This includes sex without a condom or sex when a condom has split.

Most people know emergency contraception as the morning after pill but it can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex - although the sooner it is taken the more effective it is.

Even after 72 hours there are still other options available which can be effective up to 5 days after so don't let time put you off going for help.

Emergency contraception pills are available from the following places:

•High street chemists - Free of charge from many chemists/pharmacies - see download section below for a list
•Your doctor*
•Sexual health clinics*
•Family planning clinics*


>>>>And finally...
Never underestimate the power of sperm... a small drop of semen on the end of a man's penis carries enough sperm to fertilise all the women in Columbia! In case your geography is not that hot, we are talking around 18 million babies!
