Women Aren’t The Only People Who Get Abortions

"They can’t even sustain their numbers on their own if they follow through with risky surgeries."

Yes; their way of life, if followed rigorously (which the subject of this thread didn't seem to do) is a genetic death sentence; while Nature exults - abundantly, extravagantly - in Life, and the creation of more Life.

That suggests to me that they have chosen to live unNaturally.

There can't be much good in that, to my mind; but everyone has to learn for his/her/its self.

I agree.

What I really object to most of all is the obvious effort to encourage our youth to follow in their sad footsteps.

Leave our kids alone and live your life quietly, I’m willing to leave well enough alone.

Don’t, and sooner or later, it’s going to come back to bite you on the behind.

I feel like I always have to justify my existence and explain why I need to be treated like a human being

I can see why this would be a recurrent problem for the individual.

I am totally confused, trying to make sense of this article. The misuse of pronouns and the use of hormones to make women look masculine and men look feminine confounds me.

Because of the silly rules and speech codes surrounding these people, the reader is not allowed information to figure out if the person/subject is a woman transitioning into a man - or a man transitioning into a woman.

Then we are told that one of then had an abortion. No wonder there are wars. Everyone is speaking in a different language, depending upon their sexual orientation, which we are supposed to somehow know and understand.

[toddausauras]

I’m certainly on board with that happening.

[Jamestown1630]

If you want them to stop influencing your kids, get involved with the school systems/PTA/public Libraries in your area. Pay attention to what they are teaching the kids and exposing them to.

People have done this in various places, and have had effect.

But, bottom line: education begins at home. Nobody has the power over your kids that you do, and you have it from the cradle - at least so far.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, yes and no with that influence thing.

We can kid ourselves that we have the influence, but by the third grade kids have come to the place where peer pressure is a driving motivator for them.

So when some of their friends buy into things you don’t, it’s a real problem for them and you. They don’t realize it of course.

[Jamestown1630]

Peer pressure has influenced young people from time immemorial.

I’m a firm believer that if you strike when the iron is hot - again, from the cradle - they won’t stray far when they are older.

They may ‘experiment’ and ‘act out’ - but if you’ve done it correctly, with love, wisdom and firmness, they always wind up back at the roots from which they grew.

Too many parents, for a couple of generations now, have just been abdicating their duties, and leaving their kids to the ‘ministrations’ of the various media, the schools, and the popular culture.

You have to actually get off your ass, to raise a kid who turns out to be what you would like him or her to be.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree to a point.

I’ve witnessed two of three children turn out great in the same family, and the third raised in the same environment just lost it.

While I do agree with you in principle, and while some kids do revert to what they know is right, it doesn’t happen for all kids.

We tend to get rebellious during our teens, and generally return to our parent’s values, though maybe a little less as intense.

At 20 for instance, we may have rebellious hair. Then by 35, we may have the exact haircut our dad did. (for guys)

[Jamestown1630]

I think every one of us comes into the world as an Individual; God may have a plan, but He leaves us to work it out as best we can - and the working-out is probably part of the plan, too.

There’s no way that we can know why one kid from a family turns out ‘good’, and another turns out ‘bad’.

We like to think that every little baby born is a ‘clean slate’ upon which we can imprint what we like; but we have no idea what’s going on in the individual consciousness and subconscious of anyone else - or what, beyond our ken, it may have come into the world with already; how it developed once it got here; what particular, weird impression may have been made, which - as individually perceived - may have made even one twin very different from its own twin sibling of apparently largely similar experience.

All we can do is our best; and leave the rest to God.

My concern is that so many parents are not even trying to do their best. They are so concerned with material life, that they don’t even think that there may be an important spiritual aspect to life that they are neglecting in the raising of their children. I don’t necessarily mean ‘church’ and ‘religiosity’ - though those can be very helpful when chosen carefully - but I mean real interest in how the child is thinking and feeling, and working to channel those energies into kindness, love, integrity, honesty.

I think many people today have become too busy and distracted with material life to take patience and thought toward raising kids properly. A lot of parents need to rearrange their priorities.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with that.

[BatGuano]

WTF was that about????????????????????????????

[ssfromla]

All the babies must die because there is a protected class that may need an abortion.

Liberal commie thinking at its best.
