I didn't say that men we...You know what, Sarah? I didn't say that men were to be exalted for getting a woman pregnant. It really saddens ME to see another teenage girl saying, "Well, if two people created a baby, it is a girl's right to kill that child." Clearly you have not read my comment in depth, for I state that a child should not have to suffer for the parent's mistakes, not just the woman's. I think you are very mistaken as to why to oppose the death penalty; I am way more pro-life than anti-death penalty. This is why: innocent children (who by the way, should never, ever be referred to as "a cluster of cells") versus mass murderers? Obviously, I care more for the kids. Yeah, there's a fundamental difference between the two, and the difference is that one has committed murder (or some other atrocity) and one could be murdered. Let me clarify one last thing, so you can completely comprehend my stance on this. Young women who are pregnant and decide to keep their child should be treated with love and respect for their hard decision. Young women who decide to abort their child should be counseled, for statistics show that 9 out of 10 women regret their abortions. Killing never should be an option.<br />AllisonAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469218074623776784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893501849832858190.post-60778234662559008902011-07-10T21:57:10.595-07:002011-07-10T21:57:10.595-07:00Allison - do you think a young man has to suffer t...Allison - do you think a young man has to suffer the same consequences for the same premarital sex? It really saddens me to see another teenage girl saying "well, if she didn't want the consequences, she shouldn't have done it." You're putting all the blame on your peers! Women are shamed for having premarital sex - they get called sluts, they get called whores, their reputations are often damaged. They can also get pregnant - the onus is almost entirely on the young woman in this situation. Do you see how this is problematic?<br /><br />I am also a vegetarian opposing the death penalty. I think there's a fundamental difference between a being that can feel and a cluster of cells that can't. Out of curiosity, do you side with the Republicans because of this one issue?<br /><br />And I never said I consider Margaret Sanger to be a personal hero, so I don't know where you and Joe seem to be getting that. I appreciate Planned Parenthood for what it does now.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675631061596889680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893501849832858190.post-52785582829494234852011-07-03T17:51:29.640-07:002011-07-03T17:51:29.640-07:00Sarah, I am also a seventeen year old woman, yet I...Sarah, I am also a seventeen year old woman, yet I am adamantly against abortion. Firstly, I believe as Joe does: that abstinence is the way to go and that abortion is murder. If a young woman decides to have intercourse, naturally, she should be ready to accept the consequences. I cannot comprehend how it would ever be acceptable to kill another to right the mistakes one has made. The child should not suffer for the mother and father's errors. Now, I believe that you have posed the question, "What about rape?" Well, these cases are extremely rare; I believe less than one percent of abortions are rapes. Rape is an awful, horrible violation of a woman's body, but speaking as woman, murder is not the answer. You may think that I am an extreme Republican for this statement, but I am a vegetarian opposing the death penalty, and in many ways, Democratic. Where I do not agree with liberal doctrine is in the disturbingly commonplace abortion issue. Killing innocents can never be justified, and I intend to become a lawyer to ensure that it will never be justified again. Oh, by the way, the woman who set up Planned Parenthood was a crazy, psycho racist who set up the organization to rid the world of diversity-look it up. Also, the woman for abortion in the landmark case Roe v. Wade later felt remorse for her participation and became a strong pro-life supporter and Catholic! She has truly seen the light! I am proud to call myself pro-life, for I do not harm animals (my vegetarianism), criminals (very much against the death penalty), and most importantly, innocent humans (gotta love babies!).<br />AllisonAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469218074623776784noreply@blogger.com
