Pure accident

Features: When I started writing this manuscript, it was early September. At that time, newspapers had reported extensively on the "September abortion trend," revealing that today's youth are experiencing sexual liberation and bodily autonomy. From middle school students to college students, astonishing statistics emerged. I believe this doesn't represent all students, but it accounts for a significant proportion. No, no, I'm not here to judge anything. Those who want long lectures should consult ethical organizations—thank you! Developing one's physical senses is a personal freedom, but I am deeply concerned about abortion practices that show a lack of self-care. Can't people understand both sexual behavior and sexual knowledge? Personally, I strongly oppose unmarried individuals engaging in unprotected sex and treating unintended pregnancies as mere trash. Perhaps I'm too sentimental, but I believe that an unformed embryo is also a life; abortion is a form of murder to a certain extent. Is contraception really that difficult? Who would believe that this toothless creature, with an angelic face and carefree laughter, is the culprit behind an irreparable situation—and one that allows this mistake to continue?
"Ah! Ah!" The toothless creature paid no heed to the angry glare of eyes bloodshot with rage as he embarked on his "climbing" game, charging across the bed from flat surfaces to raised terrain. His left hand clutched a bell toy as a shield, his right hand scooped up his favorite pacifier as a weapon, all while flashing a wide grin and showing off his toothless gums, occasionally crying out in a strange "Ah! Ya!" voice—though this was hardly his fault; he was only seven months old. Naturally toothless, and of course, only capable of smiling and screaming.
