How exactly was I selfish? I'm just one of countless women who value their own lives over a bundle of cells which has the POTENTIAL to be a life. I want to have a child when I'm older - why should the potential child NOW get priority over the potential child I'll have when I'm older? Why should MY life, with my aims to become a doctor, my friends, my family, be disrupted just because I accidentally became pregnant? And people have sex for other reasons than to have a baby, FYI. I'm not going to stop doing one of the simple pleasures in life just because of the chance I'll get pregnant - I'm on the pill so the chance is slim.
