Do I understand your rational correctly? 14 year old girls may become pregnant. Rather than look at the cause of the pregnancy and work on that, we will just give the errant girl the opportunity to dispose of the resulting life that has been created. After all, nobody has seen this life so why not just get rid of it. Then, the 14 year old girl can go and get pregnant again because there is an out.
Where are your values? Where are your morals? Don't fix the cause, give a way to escape the consequences.
Put the responsiblility where it belongs.
My morals and my values tell me that it is cruel and ignorant to create an environment that requires a 14 year old girl to track down an illegal backyard abortion clinic and withhold proper medical care from her. Your morals and values tell you she deserves death for the crime of her pregnancy...but hey, if a book says a god is on your side, then yours must be better.
Do what you can to prevent unwanted pregnancy by all means (and you better include contraception and the morning after pill) but don't jettison your responsibility to find a realistic solution if it happens anyway.
How dare you question my morals and values ? I value life as much if not more than you, which is why I would save a dog before an 8 week foetus, only my idea of what constitutes a valuable life is not twisted by ridiculous church propaganda.
So many smug christians all soooo comfortable in their certainty of everything.....unquestionable right and wrong, black and white morals....standards written by gods....if only you could see how twisted and sick you look from where I stand.
These are not necessarily church or religious standards. These are human and humane standards that you have trouble understanding. The fact that you put a dogs life over that of a human says a lot. I am not questioning your values and morals....you are laying them out for all to see.
So when you say "Where are your values, where are your morals?" that is somehow not questioning my morals and values.......riiiiight.
Human and humane standards were cast aside to allow abortion in the US in 1937...why? Maybe I'm not the only one that thinks YOURS are the inhumane standards rather than mine?
This is what bugs me, you guys are claiming to BE the authority on what is right. Where do you get that?
Yes, I agree....being ready to save a living dog ahead of an 8 week old foetus that the mother does not intend to keep... does say a lot about me....and I'll stand by it.
I'm also going to say I'd swap a thousand 8 week old foetuses for just one 14 year old girl. What a monster I must be.
...meanwhile there's the pope creating thousands of abortions by refusing to support contraception.....
