A Woman’s Right to Choose
A majority of liberals are pro-choice. And the main argument for being pro-choice is so that a woman has a right to choose what happens to her body. I am not a mother, but I know what my choice would be.
What I don’t understand now is the argument about sex education in schools. I went through public school where sex-ed was started in 4th or 5th grade. And it wasn’t only about abstinence. We were taught about the basics of the bodies, ways to prevent pregnancy if we made the CHOICE to have sex, and how if you got pregnant your only CHOICES weren’t to have it or to have an abortion. You could have the baby and give it up for adoption. Yes, you would have to go through the 9 month pregnancy but in the end if you knew that at age 15 you could not properly raise a child then you went for the adoption CHOICE.
I understand that Palin is for teaching abstinence only, and how that looks when she has a pregnant daughter. But the only argument I ever hear regarding teaching sex-ed in schools is teach abstinence or hand out condoms. Why do CHOICES have to be taken away? (I am not saying I am pro-life or pro-choice, so don’t start putting words in my mouth) Give kids as much information as you possibly can and let them decide. Most kids will think twice after you make them watch a woman go through labor and give birth, or put them through the take home scenario (an egg, a baby doll, etc).

I just heard on the radio that Obama’s mom was 18 and unwed when she had him….good for the Dems she didn’t have an abortion.
Dj… your post fits perfectly with mine at http://fuanglada.wordpress.com/ called “I guess some women are Pro-choice”
Also, read “Barack Obama is a Timid Man”… Wouldn’t it be nice if we could nail him with this label? I think it fits. I am commenting on as many blogs as possible to get this started. 🙂
This label is perfect because Sen. Obama IS timid as far as I can tell. Can he name a single instance that he has stood his ground and defended a tough position? Oooooo, “I spoke out against the Iraq war”
Toes,
Do you have to flaunt your blog in every comment? How about just once day? Still want to see your comments!
Thanks, AJStrata
Well, point one is that sex education of the non-abstinence variety does not decrease sexual activity or pregnancy, especially in the lower IQ segment/lower classes. The girls know that sex is their only way of making it on to the welfare system and lowerclass/low IQ men know that their female counterparts know that.
Second point is why have you adopted the radical left’s vocabulary? Not pro-choice, but use pro-abortion. That is what the left loves, they certainly don’t love children, unless they are on welfare or have illegal alien parents. Otherwise, a child is a mistake to be eliminated as the Obamessiah wants for his grandchildren.
Would any loving parent say to their child:
“Son, don’t play with matches, but if you do, make sure you wear flame retardent clothing.”
“Honey, don’t play with guns, but if you do, make sure you wear this bulletproof vest.”
“Sweetheart, don’t drive recklessly, but if you do, make sure you have your seatbelt on.”
Matches, guns, and cars are of great value when used in the right context. However, we know that when used unwisely they are destructive and even life-threatening.
Sex in the right context, marriage, is a joy and potentially life-giving. In the wrong context it can be physically, mentally, and emotionally destructive; even deadly.
According to a quick search, first year condom use is 86% effective in preventing pregnancy(most teens would be included in these 1st year user stats). I wouldn’t fly in a plane that had an 86% safety rating, but the left wants to undermine the roll of parents, subvert their values, and reduce our schools to indoctrination centers in order to pitch their inadequate ideas.
Abstinence works every time it is tried.
Will kids play with matches. Some. Will kids be curious about guns. Yes. Will some kids drive dangerously. Yes. In each instance, the consequences can be disastrous. Will teens continue engaging in sex. Yes, indeed. But the best way to avoid these tragic ends is to openly and honestly pass on values that affirm the good and warn of harm, knowing that in the end, many of even the best kids will make some decisions that they will only learn from the hard way. And when they do, like the Palin’s, you love them.
