“When you find someone given birth to her dad’s kid, but only got pregnant when she was 15, would you lambaste her for not having the sanity to run away or tell the police earlier?”
That’s not the case presented to us here, is it? So why bring it up, except to try and paint people who have already commented on a different matter with a broad brush?
Teens don’t know better even if they should.
It takes years and lots of experience to appreciate youth is wasted on the young.
That said, she didn’t deserve to be raped and I’m not at all defending Reed here.
There is a direct parallel.
Both are circumstances in which girls were abused by highly respected adults with similar outcomes (they stayed with the abuser).
It sounds like you are becoming a bit defensive.
Now, as long as you’d tell off my 15 year old girl in the example, at least you would be consistent. The same with others on this thread.
We have some darn, fine examples of Christian men on Free Republic, don’t we?
