What about teenagers? Teenagers should not be having sex. No one should until they are mature enough to shoulder the responsibilities - and that is best done within the framework of marriage.

Why can't young people enjoy their youth while they have it - and leave adult things like sexual intercourse for later once they find a lifelong mate?

Ah - but you could plant that seed in the ground, give it water, and then have a lot of other snacks available at a future time.

That wouldn't be possible if you threw the seed in the trash.

The second you mentioned being against abortion I knew you were a Bible banger. I'm surprised. Are you an atheist? If you are, you'll have no problem saying that God is dead. Say it. I'll put money on it you won't.

Teenagers are going to have sex, there is no stopping that. While it might not be ideal it is going to continue. There is no way to convince people to wait until they are 25/28 to have sex.

Actually I'm making do quite well ..... most states Medicaid doesn't paqy for elective abortions, Federal dollars don't pay for them at all. We may just have our first abortion free state soon, and a couple of others are coming along nicely.

See, that's what pisses me off about you people. You have no problem with shoving your disgusting religion down other people's throats, do you?

Those people will just travel to other states for the procedure, or Mexico, possibly Canada.

If your answer is yes - then the knowledge that this may occur, coupled with the willful decision to engage in such activity, is enough to prove that a possible pregnancy was planned.

Abortion just allows such decisions to be made with zero responsibility.

Engaging in activity that may result in a pregnancy and wanting a child should not be mutually exclusive.
No.....just because you have sex does not mean a pregnancy was planned.

Anymore than your decision to use a set of stairs means you planned to fall and break your leg.
