*Facepalm*. Let's say it together "Nothing is 100%."

Let's everyone with sense respond: They can fail

Yes, birth control, like the depo shot right? I am on the shot and I use condoms so there is no way I can ever get pregnant right? Except that I am 3 months pregnant despite using birth control, nimrod.

Same. I found out I was adopted when I was five, and it's never been a big deal to me. I've been raised well and loved by a family who treats me as if I was their own flesh and blood, and most of the time I don't even think about the fact that I'm not.

I've been on both the shot and the mirena and I've never been told to regularly check for pregnancy..

I'm on the shot and was never told that, but at the same time they do a pregnancy test every 3 months when I go in for another, so they probably figure they'd catch it anyway.

I do a pregnancy test every 3 months when I get my depo shot. That's how found out I was pregnant.

Some people are so uninformed and things it's super easy to get that sort of thing done, also that no matter how many precautions you take (aside from abstinence) that mistakes can happen. :/

THANK YOU. I was going to make this comment as well. I'm 21, don't want kids ever. I can't find a single doctor in my state that will allow me to get my tubes tied because I might change my mind or I'm not old enough to make that decision. So, I'm old enough to decide to have a child, but not if I don't want one. K. Vasectomies also aren't usually covered by insurance, so if they didn't have the money to afford a vasectomy then what in the world makes people think they could afford a kid?

She doesn't need to abandon the child, just put him/her up for adoption.

Maybe you shouldn't have kids either #48 if your first suggestion to someone who is pregnant but doesn't want the child is to look up laws about abandoning it on someone's doorstep instead of giving it up to an adoption agency.

uhm... have you two never heard of safe haven laws? What do you think happens to babies who are turned over to fire/police stations? The mother of an unwanted baby under a certain age can anonymously turn the baby over to a fire/police station, hospital, and even some churches. The baby will be taken care of medically and put up for adoption. It's pretty much the same thing as using an agency, but this was it's 100% anonymous and there is no paperwork for the biological mother. Educate yourselves.

#138 Quite educated on the matter thank you. Safe haven laws are for women who feel they have absolutely no other option. It should been seen as a last resort, not a standard option for anyone who has an unwanted baby. By organising beforehand the child could go to a new home straight away rather than be stuck in the system while they sort everything out. Having dealt with adoptions and a baby who was left, it's far better for the parent and the baby to sort it out beforehand.

As a pro-choice feminist, you should know that any preventative measures can fail.

I must have missed the part where they explained what forms of contraception they used. That, or people are making completely baseless assumptions on what they are using and them judging them for it.

I'm pro-life and even I understand that birth control fails on occasion and that most doctors won't sterilize a young person. Hopefully the baby will go to a family who does want him or her and OP is able to live out the rest of her days child free and happy and devoid of judgemental people like you.

You can still experience bleeding even when you're pregnant, and not everyone has regular periods to begin with.
