quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle quote: ORIGINAL: LookieNoNookie quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle Life is a CONTINUUM. The sperm is alive. The egg is alive. To suggest that life "begins" at any point is SCIENTIFICALLY INVALID. So, giving credit to scientifically invalid viewpoints is stupid. People's choice to be ignorant of the scientific facts underlying reproductive science isn't my concern, and it's no basis to make public policy decisions. Thank you. (Now, you're all allowed to go back to your independent beliefs...and I won't chastise you for any of them, even as they may differ from my own). See, that's the problem here. I don't have BELIEFS. I rely on SCIENTIFIC FACTS. Which don't care whether or not I believe in it. Consider this example. Let's say you don't BELIEVE IN GRAVITY. Go ahead and jump out a window and see if your FAITH sustains you, or you plummet to your death. Once someone learns the difference between the two, ( hint: falsifiable hypotheses ) then they understand. :)

quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr Yes! Indeed! Allowing people a choice as to how they raise their children would be Un-American! They still have a choice. But so do their teenage daughters. Did your parents successfully control everything about your life until you were 18? I really doubt it. I know I sure as hell didn't go to my parents and ask if it was okay for me to buy condoms when I wanted to have sex when I was 16. I really, really, really doubt most teens do. I don't see how this is any different from that. And at least I had two parents around that wanted me to not get pregnant until I was grown. Plenty of kids in low-income inner-city schools don't have that.

quote: ORIGINAL: searching4mysir quote: You seem to believe that allowing your children to exercise their rights to self-determination somehow takes a right away from you. What makes you think a CHILD has a "right" to self-determination in the first place? Their cognitive functions aren't even completely developed at this age, and you think that they have the wisdom to truly think this through, including the additional health risks that may present? What makes you think that a 13-year old girl would be better off having a baby? What kind of wisdom does she have? If her cognitive functions aren't good enough to decide whether to use contraception, how can they be good enough to decide how to raise a child?
