ABORTION VERSUS MOTHERHOOD

You could find yourself in a situation when all of a sudden there is choice to make.  Yes, I’m
speaking of making a decision between abortion and motherhood.  Many women interviewed for The
Voice of Australian Women Survey, are feeling increasing pressure financially of having children.  Two out of five women who have terminated a pregnancy feel that abortion is validated because they were not in a financial position to have a child.  This concern is being echoed in more and more
younger women.

There is an rise in the number of women saying that abortion is an absolute right. In 1980, 62% indicated an absolute yes.  In 2007, 69% indicated an absolute yes.

There is a significant drop in the number of women saying that abortion should only be considered under certain circumstances, like when there is a medical threat to a woman’s life or rape.  In 1980, 32% gave a nod to this question, whilst in 2007, only 26% agreed.

Due to the complex nature of this sexual issue, more than one reason for abortion was given.
Below are the statistics for the main reasons for having an abortion.

3% indicated abortion due to being raped.

13% indicated that they had a child/children already and did
not wish to have anymore.

14% indicated that it was a medical necessity.

39% indicated that they were not in a financial position to
have this child.

41% indicated that they were not in the right relationship.

45% felt they were too young to have a baby.

PREGNANCY BY DESIGN

The dizzying pace set by the electronics age is intimately making its way into the joy of sex with DuoFertility.  Making a baby has never been easier.  DuoFertility, a smallish rubber plaster attaches under a woman’s arm and measures her body temperature with accuracy that has not been heard of before.

Basal body temperature is seen as the key to predicting ovulation.  When holding the matching reader close to the button sized plaster, information is transmitted and an indicator shows whether
it is the right time for making that baby.

The DuoFertility adds a whole new dimension to planning a pregnancy. As simple as it seems this
clinical approach to conception may come with more than expected. 

Being sex crazed may not be enough to keep the playfulness alive when the procreation timer buzzes. 

With high expectations being placed on doing sex to make baby, there is a possibility that things can go wrong. “Performance anxiety“ increases stress and takes out the joy of sex.

AWAY WITH THE SEX MYTHS, CONVERSE WITH THE TRUTH.

Time to learn another language and converse
with the truth about sex myths.

Talking honestly, “What has sex myths done for you
besides giving you emotionally antagonizing sex whilst holding a
loaded pistol to your head in a game of Russian roulette.”

Trigger happy sex myths momentarily quench the
biological urge for the need of sex in the moment without giving sufficient
thought of consequences as to what could and should happen after the act.

Myth Busters, the popular TV show scientifically explored the sex
myth – Cola (better recognized to us Aussies as Coca Cola, Pepsi, Pepsi Cola,
Coke) is an effective spermicide.   

It was busted alright, and our obsession to debate as a
matter of irrational reasoning to psychologically hold on to our sex
myths has been blown apart and proven beyond any doubt that this myth is
indeed false.

There is no use coming to a screeching halt over spilt Coca
Cola, but you will have that sickening feeling in the pit of your
stomach over an unwanted pregnancy.
