Sex is an intimate act between two individuals. I think what you are describing is pornography. I cannot buy a thing at a store, open it up, use it, and make a baby by accident.
The father doesn't have to be a part of his child's upbringing legally, but the law makes him at least financially responsible.
But it is interesting to hear how disposable this generation sees babies. This has come up on other threads and people talk about how many dead-beat dads there are in the UK and how big a problem that is.
I am reminded of a line from a Chris Rock stand-up act which is only a few years old, but it sounds outdated with some of the JF users here.
I will paraphrase as he describes different kinds of brothers and says:
"You get these brothers that say 'I take care of my kids.' Well, you are SUPPOSED to take care of your kids. It's like these guys that brag saying 'I ain't never been to jail.' Well you ain't SUPPOSED to been to jail."
It sounds like "taking care of my kids" is an old fashioned concept to be proud of.

I'm all for taking responsibility, and I think the responsible thing for a 19 and 20 year old to do is to give up the child for adoption, not ruin 3 lives.
By sex being mainstream I meant that sex is something that's forced on the minds of the population of the world and they all want to try it out and get into it, it's no surprise there are so many teenage births.
I don't consider babies disposable at all, in fact it's because of how important they are that I wouldn't want to see them raised by a father that doesn't want it, and a mother who's psychotic enough to think she can force her bf into sticking around for the child.
and LOL at the quote, that gave me a good laugh

And if most 20 year olds are "borderline retarded" then are you saying they shouldn't be forced to take the responsibilities of having sex, or that they simply shouldn't have sex, or something else altogether?

What I meant is that I think a child parented by it's biological 19 and 20 year old parents would be worse off than being adopted by a family that actually wanted a child. And so would the biological parents for that matter.
