These posts about "Minors" pissed me off

71. Yep, it's a control issue

I've had the conversation before- in 1988 when Becky Bell died and the push to allow minors access to abortion began. The conversational tone then was the same one we're seeing here, now; "yes, it's a tragedy what happened to that girl, but if we remove pregnancy as a consequence then MY child might think it's OK to have sex... I'd rather these kids die than let them think that.". Birth control and condom dispensers for teens- exact same conversation again. Good luck getting anyone to even think about it though, much less admit it.

I tried to teach my daughters that it was their decision when they were ready, and that readiness was up to them, no one but them- to be made without regard for what anyone else wanted and this principle was to apply to every encounter throughout their lives. I thought this was common-sense teaching. Apparently the correct course of action was a chastity belt and abstinence-only. 21st century "progressive" values.
