Can you please pay for an abortion?" And part of you says, "I've paid for three already, and that's my limit. Why don't you use a condom? Why doesn't she take birth control pills? Why don't you all become more responsible for yourselves?"
When I was younger, I had a total of five, but I paid for each one. I didn't ask my mother, I didn't ask my friends, I didn't ask my family. I paid for the abortions because I took the responsibility. It was my baby, and it would have been my death if the women I had gotten pregnant had these babies. For starters, I didn't want to raise them. I wanted to go through school, which was more important to me, and looking after a baby would have disrupted my life. Therefore, I made the sacrifice and paid-and paid, and paid, and paid, and paid.
Why do our children think that we owe them for all of their mistakes? The only way our children will learn from their mistakes is by paying for them. We didn't get abortions without having to pay for them. I get angry now. I have now closed my pockets and my checkbook. I'm tired of being asked to pay for other people's mistakes. Our children are spoiled. Our children are selfish. When do they come to help you? Where are they when you need things done? Have you ever asked them to take a look at your house? Why are they not helping you, but instead are out in the street doing whatever they want to do? Then they feel it's the responsibility of their parents or their parents' friends to bail them out. I'm sorry, kids: Bail your own asses out, that's what you should do. Get off your ass, go to work; whenever you do something irresponsible, you become responsible and you pay. If not, you will have to face the consequences yourself, for I'm not paying for any more abortions.
