What Im failing to understand is why people would think a fourteen or fifteen year old would be able to afford or have the knowledge to bring a baby or babies into the world. And in what world do all of these fine young ladies eat from silver spoons and have June and Ward Clever for parents? Give me a fucking break.

Oh yes - there is one exception, my next door neighbors, who are respectively fourteen and fifteen years old. They live in a mansion - and are the parents of fine healthy baby twins. I hear that he supports their family by delivering news papers.
The only difficulty they seem to have is that her drunken mother sometimes doesnt make it into the house and passes out on their front lawn. - it must of prevented her from signing the permission slip. Good thing they can get married in a few years and boot her out the door.

You support the idea that strangers are making it possible for her to be sexually active with the illusion that there are zero consequences, which in all likelihood, places her at a higher risk for STDs. According to the CDC 39% of all new HIV cases occur between the ages of 13 and 29. With 7000 teen pregnancies a year in New York City, obviously they are not using the free condoms, so do you think the increased promiscuity that pregnancy free sex sex is likely to cause will make your daughter more or less likely to contract a disease?


LOL.. I love this... zero responsibility. Like the only responsibility there is to having unprotected sex is pregnancy.

I find this position laughable from a platform that believes only abstinence should be taught in schools. I wish I could think that innocently... "Dont have sex" and they wont. However, I live in the real world.


What I find most remarkable who comes up with a "test" (well they think it's a test), where disagreement with any of the author's foregone conclusions, one is and "idiot" or some kind of moral reprobate, and THEN expects anyone to take them even remotely seriously.

How do you think we decent, compassionate. intellectually unimpaired, feel about vacuous, freedom usurping punks?

Women should start lobby groups to tell men how to maintain and use THEIR reproductive organs, utilizing the same "hands on knowledge" men employ... Who's got catheters and Drano?



At 14 you are not a woman.

Once menstruation has occured, physically you are, and it only takes one sex act. to turn you into a mother, or give you an STD...
I suppose, every parent is thinking of what is best for the female and coping with reality.
NOT

You seem to believe that allowing your children to exercise their rights to self-determination somehow takes a right away from you.



What makes you think a CHILD has a "right" to self-determination in the first place? Their cognitive functions aren't even completely developed at this age, and you think that they have the wisdom to truly think this through, including the additional health risks that may present?

I'm going to go with the fact that they're sapient creatures capable of articulating hopes and dreams and acting to achieve them. Many are still developing their wisdom, which is exactly why programs like this one should exist. However, the fact that they may make poor decisions doesn't give parents the right to make those decisions *for* them. We're not talking about decisions like whether to wear makeup. We're talking about decisions that will determine the entire course of their future. Just because they're your children doesn't make them your property. Or, as an old saying goes, "Your child's life is his/her own, not yours."



THis...completely!!

I have my own opinion on that time span, I'm sure Rob does as well....we may even agree....that's beside the point.

Murder is certainly the decision to alter someone else's presence in this world...to a detriment.

To choose that someone should not exist. By edict.

Isn't that in fact, the definition....of murder?

I'm not the one who thinks taking responsibility as a parent is "laughable". She came to that conclusion on her own. I certainly did not force her to believe that she should encourage the government to do her job as a parent. She came to that conclusion on her own and I see no reason to apologize for her opinions.

I must admit though... just because I do have a morbid sense of curiosity... I would love to hear that mother daughter speech. The one where she explains how knee-slapping hilarious it it is that her teenage daughter caught HIV or Hep C because being a mom just took too much effort.

Depends on when you believe conception begins.


By "conception" you mean "a soul is implanted".

Because SCIENCE is quite clear about when conception occurs, and all those SCIENCE FACTS. The issue appears to be that some people think their BELIEF that a blastocyst has a distinct, special soul and that killing the blastocyst destroys the soul.

Which, from a SCIENCE point of view is so wrong it's not even worth addressing.

That's why I wouldn't use "Murder" to describe "BIRTH CONTROL".

Science. It works, bitches!

So, do you use SCIENCE or BELIEF to make policy? I know what side of that argument I'm on.


I don't know that I would use Murder in that context either...but, if someone has a definition of "life" at "conception", then clearly, any destruction of same is in fact a choice to end that "persons" life, ergo....murder.

I, frankly, respect another's opinion as to when life begins. I have my own (very stringent) opinion, and for fear of flames....I'll keep it to myself but....I will say this....

There should be a place, and a time when that does occur....and I'm very clear (personally) as to when that occurs in my own belief.

It remains my own belief...and I'm sure you (meaning....all of you...not just who I'm responding to) have yours.

NO, wrong, you took it to assume.... wrongly in an ugly aspect.... go ahead, but dont expect others not to comment on your post ugliness when you are only guessing and conjecturing what Tazzy feels.
The hilarity on my part (cos I laughed at the same thing Tazzy did), was because your post was full of arrogance and ridiculousness. Let alone Strawmen and ad hominems. Yet you think you can be taken seriously.

You might avail yourself of the search feature. I have discussed in detail just how I taught my son about STDs.

The hilarity of this situation is that you believe parents are all teaching their children how to avoid such... they arent.... most bury their heads in the sands, tell their children "dont" and feel thats enough.

How do I know that to be true? The number of teenage mothers I assisted in Labor and Delivery. Race plays no part, income doesnt either. The only common factor is their lack of education not only in pregnancy prevention but in disease prevention.

You seem to read into that only what you wish. Allow me to be more direct.

Its the Conservative platform to teach only abstinence in school.

Its the conversative platform to take condoms out of schools.

Its the conservative platform to have sex education taught at home.

Exactly what about all that leads you to believe those children will be taught STD prevention?

THATS the laughable part.

Murder has a very clear legal definition.

Calling it legal murder is an oxymoron.

Life is a CONTINUUM. The sperm is alive. The egg is alive. To suggest that life "begins" at any point is SCIENTIFICALLY INVALID.

So, giving credit to scientifically invalid viewpoints is stupid.

People's choice to be ignorant of the scientific facts underlying reproductive science isn't my concern, and it's no basis to make public policy decisions.

First of all, I'm not responsible for the wreckage of your life. Nor am I responsible for searching out posts you want to defend your position with. If you want me to see it, you research it and link it.

Second, trying to assert your position that parents will not teach their children about STD's and citing your alleged conversations with your son as evidence that you have..? This is not a compelling argument. It's actually a pretty dumb argument. If you expect me to believe that no one will teach their children about STDs, what possible reason would I have to believe you when you claim that you have done that very thing?

Unfortunately, you think this is about condoms and morning after pills. That seems to be the extent of your understanding about the issue. The real issue is simply this... The Conservative platform is that government should not be making these decisions for our children or for us without our consent or knowledge. You seem quite content to allow the government into your childrens life and you seem perfectly content to allow them to usurp your ability to be a parent without someone else having the right to intervene in the decisions you make as a parent.

The "Conservative platform" is that as parents, you should be able to make those decisions. If you want to buy your kid condoms, you should be perfectly free to do that. If you want your daughter to have a morning after pill, you should be free to buy them. It's a simple concept.

These programs allow children to access condoms and birth control in such a way that the parent is completely out of the loop. Your choice has been taken away, because you no longer need to be informed when your children ask for these things. Which makes me wonder why you even bother with the pretense that you want to be a parent in the first place, since you're perfectly content let the government take control of your childrens lives and make these decisions for you.

The government isnt making any decisions for your children. You have the option of saying no... you have the option of sending your children elsewhere. If the parents do not realize they have an opt out option, that doesnt speak very highly of the parents interest or concerns for their children and perhaps someone else should be making decisions.

And yet kids now arent as sexually active as they used to be.

Care to explain that with all the condoms, pills and education out there that the Conservative platform insists will lead children to the brink of hell?

Did you actually read the article, or are you only seeing what you want to see and what Rush and Fox News tells you what you should think... Where does it state the government is making the choice for the child and the parent??? Man talk about stretching the truth

"Choice taken away" really, are you saying the conservative platform has not taken these choices away from women in trying to make birth control illegal, by passing laws taking away their rights to make their own choices???

See, that's the problem here. I don't have BELIEFS. I rely on SCIENTIFIC FACTS. Which don't care whether or not I believe in it.

Consider this example. Let's say you don't BELIEVE IN GRAVITY. Go ahead and jump out a window and see if your FAITH sustains you, or you plummet to your death.

Once someone learns the difference between the two, ( hint: falsifiable hypotheses ) then they understand.
