i kind of question the only 13% of never married 13-19 year old havng sex,,, That seems really really low I mean seriously only 13% of college freshman????
If you start the statistic at age 13, it's possible. The average age to start having sex is, I believe, around 17. So you have 4 years where the vast majority do not have sex.
I'd like to ask people against abortion this question:
Considering her age and the danger to her health this pregnancy posed, would you have been against a legal abortion in this case had the child requested one?
No. The risk to her is high, but unsure; she could deliver the fetus and they could end up both living; but the chance of the fetus dying in the abortion is practically 100%.
In addition, situations like this are exceedingly rare. The general rule is that women who obtain abortions use it a form of birth control, either primary or back-up; I don't see why certain fringe exception like this should make all abortions legal. Even if she did the right thing by aborting in this case, in a just nation it would be an exception to the anti-abortion law.
Now if young gentlemen would value THEIR virginity and wait until marriage.
Exactly. It makes me soooo sick when people expect women to be conservative and keep their virginity but say NOTHING about the boys doing it.
I love it when boys from my culture (and not from my culture) want a nice, obeying, VIRGIN girl but go and "**** *******" (In THEIR words) every week. Didn't they want to save it for the girl?
and I am among the pro lifers that believe there are times when abortion is the answer: this certainly is one of them. oh and mommy says daughter and baby are fine: wow, how exciting. Maybe she and boyfriend need to do some soul searching..
Nita
As long as the mom and boyfriend are doing their "soul searching" from behind bars and these children (daughter and the baby boy) are in a safe home with people who can get that poor child the help she desperately needs and find the baby boy a home where he will never be reminded of the circumstances which surrounded him when he was brought into this world.
