And once again, I don't care what age the pregnant woman is, bearing and raising a child is not punishment for a lack of responsibility. So all that talk about facing the consequences of your actions and taking responsibility for them is bunk. A person terminating an unwanted pregnancy in the first trimester is doing just that. And has decided that she could handle the consequences of that as well, whatever that might mean for her life.


I was referring to girls under the age of 18 who get pregnant. At that age they are minors and still under the care and direction of their parents.

Why should you suddenly abandon your parental responsibilities if your under age daughter gets pregnant?






And pardon me for saying so Gary, but as a man who will never have to make that decision or be faced with the consequences, your opinion means nada.
