Summary: In the packet we received in our class, we read a sample essay by Douglas  Ross. He began discussing how there are many unwanted children and the cause is because of irresponsibility. By not making the right choices, we can't control the consequences. In his public school, he read about young ladies who were teen moms and letting the baby be raised in a questionable environment. Even the girls in his class refused to take birth control simply because they believed that pregnancy cannot happen to them. Another reason why couples wouldn't take birth control is because they were "Irresponsible" since they were raised in a consequence free environment where practically the world is theirs. He says that poor advertising is also a cause. That "living for the moment" should be done but you should be practicing right from wrong basically. He says that "such advertising is hurting society and only adds to the issue of couples refusing to use birth control when they are clearly not willing to deal with the consequences that awaits such practice". He wishes to create a more efficient and responsible environment to prevent things like this.
Response: I think he has the right mindset and so should everyone else. There are many reasons why couples do not use birth control. For example, there are people who's religion are completely against it. In some families, children are raised with the mentality that birth control is "bad". Another reason could be that people just don't have the time to come around to it. Not everyone is irresponsible just because they don't use it.
