The young woman had an abortion, but thank God it didn't take

What does THAT mean?

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.

Typical man??

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

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.

Our daughters, even those into their 20's, need protection by parents.

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

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.

lolololol!

Letting? What, are 20 somethings still supposed to ask Mom and Dad for permission to go somewhere? Are parents still supposed to tell their 20 something year old "children" what they should or shouldn't do? Sheesh!

If you said teenage, I would agree.

Twenty something by any stretch is an adult, I may not like the decision to travel across the country to see a boyfriend or girlfriend, but the time is long past for me or my wife to "disallow" any decision made by one of our adult children.

As parents we do as best as we can to teach our children to make the right decisions and to teach them self respect and hope that that is enough to prevent them from learning the hard way.

Free will is the vise and virtue of man, it's all in the choices we make and at Twenty plus that choice does not belong to one's parents.

A 20 something year old is an adult, no matter the sex...she chose to have sex with this guy outside of marriage,she chose to attempt an abortion, and now she is (fortunately) choosing to give birth. If she is to be a mother her parents would serve her better by making her face up to her responsibility in her wrong choices rather than blaming society.

Ha Ha Ha!!!

Thinking you can STOP your 20 something daughter from traveling across the country to visit a boyfriend is what is absurd.

Geez what next, even those is their 30's, 40's? You cannot protect your children forever and at some point people have to make their own mistakes in order to learn. You raise your kids to the best of your ability, but at some point you just have let go. Adults, wether they are mature or not, make adult decision and have to deal this those consequences. Trying to prvent this will only lead to further disaster.

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

Another HA, HA, HA!

The english language often changes the meaning of words over time. The old phrase "double date" has been replaced with the single word "orgy."

Times change, people don't.

1. You can always have sex a la Jocelyn Elders - can't get pregnant.
2. You can always have sex a la Klintoon - can't get pregnant.
