I was reading thru some of my old case notes ( i destroy all case notes of old ex clients every end of the year )...
and i reread the case notes of a client that became pregnant thru a swinging encounter... precautions were taken, including the pill ( she was also on antibotics ) and condoms... but she got pregnant anway
my advice to the female was neutral....i simply asked her to decide what choice was best for her, in the present and the future, and i outlined the possible choices of abortion, adoption and keeping the child.. and when she made her choice, I contacted all the support agencies, with the mother and child's best interest at heart... and they helped her with housing, etc etc
the case ended 5 months ago....
now i am curious how others would handle that situation, if they were to get pregnant or get somebody pregnant, during a casual encounter.....
I am aware that we use protection etc....but as I saw myself, even protection isn't a quaranteed safety net
myself... first i would shit myself, freak out... then fall apart.....then i would respect the ladies choice... regardless of my own personal feelings....
so this is not about the ethics of abortion, adoption or solo parenting.... but a look at a very possible situation for many of us
