Who’s your daddy

These modern days are meant to be full of fun and loose ties.

The age of the flower children is gone but their “free love” has remained.

People go out and let their hormones do their thinking and “it is all in fun and in eternal love too … and many other lyrics they might think about their precious fun” but in their enjoyment, do they allow their brains to take responsibility for the fun effects?

There is a time to play, there is time to stop and think “am doing this right?”… “is this for my own good?”… “is this what I want for my life?” “Am I ready to take the responsibility of raising a child?”.. “Can I afford to bring a child to this world in my present circumstances?”

We are humans after all and we are weak, we are weak from 12-25 years of age, after that age we have our heads on our shoulders even when the fireworks are reaching heaven. Whether is a male or female the responsibility falls on both, she has to protect her body and sanity, he has to make sure there are not risks involved and make sure he protects her from unwanted pregnancy as well. After all we are RESPONSIBLE human beings after 18-21 years of age.

I am a pro-abortion where there is a reason to protect the carrier, where there are children abused or raped, no religion should interfere where the life of a child has been compromised by selfish force. The poor needs family planning education and protection of unwanted pregnancies, areas infected with HIV/AIDS need to be protected to avoid spreading the disease.

Pope Benedict XVI made the controversial remarks last week when he travelled to Africa, the worst-hit continent for AIDS saying that “condoms exacerbate the problem of HIV/AIDS, the Pope has publicly distorted scientific evidence to promote Catholic doctrine on this issue," The Lancet said in its editorial. AIDS is a tragedy "that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems," the Pope said aboard his flight to Cameroon.

Then in a country where poverty reigns and physical-human needs must be met, how does the Pope plan to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS worldwide?

These type of comments from very influential figures are devastating to the health of millions of people, I hope the Vatican retracts the Pope’s comments otherwise let’s sit and wait for the worse to come over us.

Few weeks ago little Alfie Patten from UK, just 13 years old made news after the classical “only once” his girlfriend fell pregnant and now they are the happy parents of a gorgeous bouncing little bab…

Little Alfie stood tall at his young age taking responsibility for his actions, I was so proud of him for stepping forward, a reaction hard to be seen on older males. Although in his heart he wants to be the daddy of the new baby, fortunately the tests are protecting him and the tests have shown he is not the daddy of little Maisie.

Now the question for the new mum; “who’s the daddy” of the baby? That is her problem and I hope the support from her parents will take her to a safer platform.

At this stage Alfie has been protected by nature and in the future he will be thankful for the DNA results as he is free to be whoever he wants to be when the time arrives. He has shown a high degree of responsibility at this young age, he might develop that responsibility by being near Maisie while she grows up and who knows, maybe become her dad.

Little Maisie has lots of love right now and she is a blessed little girl. Her mum also took her stand by allowing her baby a chance in this life. Both Alfie and Chantelle have defended their young love against all odds, I wish them well.

If older people could afford to sit and think the best solution to protect "their eternal love" there would be more happiness around.
