Although I am 100% pro-life, I don't think public schools are the place for this issue to be forced onto students. We were required to debate the issue in class 30 years ago. But now I see that a girl who has had an abortion has no way to escape or protect herself from cruel attacks by other students.

If a girl has an abortion, she should live with the consequences, including being reminded of it by having discussions of the issue in class. I am not saying she should be mocked or made fun of....or have it personalized for her, but sorry, if a teacher does not bring issues like this up for discussion in a social studies classroom, he is NOT doing his job. It is that simple.

BTW, I consider it very weak of you to believe that abortion is something that only is worthy of discussion sometimes. I guess baby killing is only worth discussing at "convenient" times for you....

The pro-life message should be "forced onto" children everywhere because abortion is murder. No one has a problem "forcing" the anti-murder message onto children.
