And this, dear libertarians, is why prostitution should be illegal. Children have a natural right to have a father. If you violate that child’s natural right, you belong in jail.

Moronic. There is no such "right", in law or in religion. Just your own baseless feel-good opinion.

Hint: To be a Right, it must be enforceable by government. Exactly how do you propose forcing parenthood on someone when a fatherless or motherless child (death, abandonment, unknown DNA source, etc) comes forward to exercise this "right"?

And this, oh scripturaly illiterate one, is why Paultards are made fun of.

When faced with a truth about sexual matters they don’t like libertines deny things that have been set to print for thousands of years...and imagine that nobody will have read the bible.

Mine and William Blackstone - Book I Chapter 16

THE duty of parents to provide for the maintenance of their children is a principle of natural law ; an obligation, says Puffendorf, laid on them not only by nature herself, but by their own proper act, in bringing them into the world: for they would be in the highest manner injurious to their issue, if they only gave the children life, that they might afterwards see them perish. By begetting them therefore they have entered into a voluntary obligation, to endeavour, as far as in them lies, that the life which they have bestowed shall be supported and preserved. And thus the children will have a perfect right of receiving maintenance from their parents. And the president Montesquieu has a very just observation upon this head : that the establishment of marriage in all civilized states is built on this natural obligation of the father to provide for his children; for that ascertains and makes known the person who is bound to fulfil this obligation: whereas, in promiscuous and illicit conjunctions, the father is unknown ; and the mother finds a thousand obfsacles in her way ; --- shame, remorse, the constraint of her sex, and the rigor of laws ; --- that stifle her inclinations to perform this duty : and besides, the generally wants ability.

The municipal laws of all well-regulated states have taken care to enforce this duty : though providence has done it more effectually than any laws, by implanting in the breast of every parent that natural sopyn, or insuperable degree of affection, which not even the deformity of person or mind, not even the wickedness, ingratitude, and rebellion of children, can totally suppress or extinguish.

Ignorantia juris non excusat

The willful ignorance of our "teachers" have led us to abortion on demand and "gay marriage." Please tell me your not a teacher.
