"I'm not going to require a 16- or 17-year-old kid who's been raped by her father and who's pregnant to notify her father. So you've got to have a judicial intervention. And because they didn't have a judicial intervention where she could go somewhere to get help I voted against it. It's never quite as simple as the president wants you to believe."
I respect your position.
I was an altar boy once.
But we shouldn't punish the father.
He couldn't help himself.
If the Bush administration had only spent enough on education, he would have had the tools to better understand his daughter.
Abortion should be safe and legal.
It is a personal decision between the daughter, her God, and her physician.
I cannot impose my religious beliefs on her.
As if this scenario is extremely common.
Of course, Planned Parenthood has been covering up for child molesters for decades now by killing the evidence and making the young girl feel like a dirty pariah. PP will never refer such cases to the police, and no Democrat is ever going to force them to if that intervention comes between PP and its profits.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the family notified.
Is the argument that the incestuous father might be pi$$ed off? Why? Wouldn't this cover his filthy tracks? What's he gonna do, throw her out of the house?
I suppose it might cause a problem if the mother didn't know and found out and then called the cops--but wouldn't that be a good thing Senator?
Does anyone see a downside here?
Exactly. And while we are at it, how does aborting a full term baby ever save the mother's life? Since that baby is coming out one way or the other they are saying that the mother won't live unless they crack the baby's skull and suck the brains out.
So is it the dilation that would kill the mother? Why not do a c-section? Kerry has a fake excuse for everything.
