PREVENTING UNPLANNED PREGNANCY

First-Ever Advertising Campaign to Address Unplanned Pregnancy Among Young Women in the U.S. Launches Nationwide; Offers Tools and Advice at Bedsider.org

Here is a cause that I've always believed in strongly so when this person asked if I could help to promot this campaign, I didn't hesitate one bit. It's something that seems to be an evergreen problem. Noticed I used the word 'problem' but it can and has proven to be a catastrophe as many can attest to.

The message a few decades ago was to avoid pre-marital sex. But in this day and age, let's be realistic, more people are having sex at a younger age than before. While it's always ideal to wait, we cannot expect that everyone will do so. But premarital sex is only the tip of the iceberg, in terms of the problems that can follow.

I knew several girls during my younger days who fell into the pit of an unplanned pregnancy and sadly, they lived to regret it. One of them did was fortunate enough to meet a man who looked beyond her teenage folly and marry her. They now have a wonderful life together with two other children. She is also now a successful entrepreneur. But that is perhaps the exception rather than the norm.

Don't tempt fate because it can destroy your life, kill your youth and burn your dreams up. Dare I say that women stand most to lose because her options may be limited. A guy can up and leave without blinking an eye - not because he may not have strong feelings for you but because he may just be totally freaked out.

I think a cause like this is wonderful, absolutely relevant not just in the US but also across the world. This should be a global initiative. Since those days in the 80s when AIDS hit the headlines and safe sex was the message every which way you turn, I feel that the momentum has withered somewhat. So this is timely. Visit the site and pass the message along.
