I think you are confusing acceptance with approval.
I like the way Dennis Prager describes his position. “Standards in the macro, compassion in the micro.”
I have a 17yo son who, knock wood and hoping and praying, is not yet sexually active. I talk to him more than he likes about all these issues. He knows where we stand. But if his girlfriend became pregnant, what should we say? Get the heck out of my house, sinner? You have to love and support your children in order to ensure the health and well-being of the next generation, if for no other reason.

I know where you are coming from. I have to say the good thing about this was another father-daughter “conversation.” Of course you still love your children, but do you run for VICE PRESIDENT AS A REPUBLICAN (I know, life is not fair). Do we accept this MORE because there was no abortion - does one right correct a wrong. What do we teach children is the key to this to me. And I think we need to teach them having sex at 17 is not acceptable. Others around here think it is no “Big Deal.”
And what about McCain. That is the scary part. Sure some people around here are fine with McCain and so fine with McCain they are blind to him.
