omg

A good friend of mine is preggers. Knocked up. Up the duff. Expecting. With child. Bun in the oven. Eating for two.

It's insane.

I'm 18 by the way. She's 19, but only just.

Her boyfriend has broken up with her for deciding to not get an abortion- against his opinion.

Honestly that's the part I'm most disappointed by. I mean, yeah, it sucks that they were stupid enough to get lax on protection- though 80% of unplanned pregnancies occur while the couple is on at least some form of contraception. But to leave your girlfriend pregnant, after a long relationship that had problems but was committed and loving... that's something I can't excuse or forgive.

It's a game changer. This will affect the rest of her life. Every part of it. In heaps of awful ways. She's going to have to grow up majorly and she's not going to be able to be much of a kid anymore. It's sad that this has happened of course.

Obviously we have to hope that her boyfriend comes round and will support her in full capacity, as father of the child, but to be honest, though my respect levels for this guy were pretty high until now, to me, anyone who could leave someone the way he did can't be trusted to be there. If he left once, he could do it again.

And the guy I kind of had a thing for, he's taken her boyfriends side. So crush over. Which is probably a good thing.

I mean, I can accept heaps of things, but sexism isn't on that list. Some things, like my boyfriend accepting that unplanned pregnancy means it's my decision whether to carry the baby to term or abort the fetus, but that I expect to have his full support either way, are just expected for me honestly. If they want to have sex with me, that's the contract. Simple as. Women's rights 101. My body, my choice.

Honestly, I think that childbearing is the reason that men became the dominant sex originally. It's weird that.

Anyway, that's the prominent thing I've been thinking about this week. It's crazy to have something that  I kind of had ideas and opinions about come to life in front of me. Obviously I've been debating it with people for the last few days but still! It's insane.

Also, if you read this blog and know me in real life (you know who you are!), don't spread rumours or gossip or hypothesis about who I'm talking about. This is still sensitive information.
