Time to end the dating game....

Posted on 04/18/2003 11:38:16 AM PDT by 1stFreedom

My friends unwed, 20 something year old daughter got pregnany recently. The young woman had an abortion, but thank God it didn't take. Now she is going to keep the baby.

The father is half way across the country and wants to have the baby killed. Typical man, want's the fun involved in making a baby but doesn't want the responsiblity of the results of having sex.

My friend is involved in the Church and pro-life activities. Her children were brought up pro-life. So how is it her daughter had an abortion??? How is it her daughter got pregnant in the first place?

Dating.

It all comes down to the fact that people, for the most part, cannot or will not control themselves. I know this from personal experience.

Letting your 20 something year old daughter travel across the country to visit a boyfriend is absurd. You can bet that about 90% of overnight visits by young adults involves sex.

In the past the problem of overnight sex romps was dealt with by sewing the man up in a sack that he couldn't get out of until the morning. Sounds silly? You bet, but, what would you rather do, do something silly or have a pregnant daughter and/or a dead grandchild?

In the past "dates" were chaperoned, providing little or no opportunity for intimate relations. The benefits of such "dating" is that once your jets cool, you can make good decisions about the other person.

Our daughters, even those into their 20's, need protection by parents. If they live at home, there needs to be rules about dating and men. One might think that this would scare away men. If a man isn't willing to abide by these rules, then what is he really after? Is he just after sex? If he is really interested, I bet he'll be willing to be chaperoned.

Friends need to chaperon friends. Double "dating" provides accountablity, peer pressure not to have sex, and it lessens the opportunity for sex.

Also, women shouldn't let a man in their home at all unless a parent is there.

Finally, tell your daughters that if they are pregnant, to tell you first before telling the baby's father. Have them invite the gentleman to your home, and have them tell the father there.

Why? Because more often then not, a man will arrange an abortion appointment. When the woman comes over he'll drive her to the clinc. This is what happened to my friends daughter. She went to his state and house and he drove her right to the clinic!

Never, never, as long as your daughter lives under your roof, ever let your daughter spend the night with a boyfriend. IF she thinks this is silly and does not abide by it, show her the door.

If you think this is silly, then you are just part of the problem. What is worse, chaperoned "dating" and protecting your daughters, or rampant abortion, AIDS, and children without participating fathers? Think about it really good.

So far, Dating is an utter failure.

Used to be, a man would push a woman into having sex with him by saying things like, "Don't be such a prude. Don't be such a baby. Get with the times." Society, however, placed value on the woman not giving in to the man, so there was implicit support for women to do what they knew was right.

Today, thanks to leftist social engineering, the culture now sides with the man, and woman are told that if they are still virgins by the time they reach 18, there is something seriously wrong with them. Thus women are implicitly being raped by "sexual liberation."

Typical woman, making moronic assumptions about men.  How on earth would you be qualified to make a statement like this???
 
Legions of men hold the wonderful responsibility of fatherhood as their most important role in life.
 
Keep your idiotic assumptions to yourself.

I fear there is plenty of blame to go around with infanticide....and btw....to my knowledge, no man has ever had an abortion.

I'm a man, and I agree. Sorry to tell you, but she's right about a lot of men.

Welfare and abortion on demand make it convenient for men to exploit women and not bare the consequences.

Letting your 20 something year old daughter travel across the country to visit a boyfriend is absurd.

Controlling your 20 something daughter is also absurd.

Is that so? That could only be the case if the parents were failures to begin with.

If you think this is silly, then you are just part of the problem.

I think some of it is overblown, preachy, pretentious, and yes, silly. Is my "part" of the problem reduced by some amount, or do I have as big a part as someone that thinks the whole thing is silly?

Sometimes you just have to ask these questions.

Hmmm seems to me that just bringing your child up as Pro Life probably isn't enough. Perhaps helping them learn to think long term ( as in consequences and sequential thinking), teaching them fundamental values, talking a lot about what makes for a good long term relationship is more effective. I am not at all sure what a "typical" man is but the men I know take responsib ility for their actions

I can name a few who either wanted a girlfriend to have one (at least one of those babies was put up for adoption) or guilted the girlfriend into having one because "they weren't ready to be a father" or they just weren't interested.

The author obviously considers women to be helpless children who can't be held responsible for anything they do. Much like modern feminists.
