I disagree with you. Ideally, a child should have the support of their parents before making such a decision. However not all parents are rational or reasonable. As mentioned in my post, my friend’s father was abusive, I have no doubt he would have become physically violent with her had he found out. How is it…

now i am just wondering about TX law where you can leave a newborn with out consequences in a hospital for an adoption

Most of those kids don't even have enough education to know sex might be a poor decision, if they did it consensually at all ):

It really frightens me to think of girls in this situation, too. I came from an abusive home and I was sexually abused as a kid. In a fucked up way, looking back I’m thankful that it happened before I hit puberty because I don’t even know what the fuck I would do in a situation where I could have gotten pregnant and…

I’d like to think that i would have a relationship with my daughter where she would feel free to discuss with me and where we would have already discussed birth control. However, no - parents should not have a say in this. What if the parents are abusive? What if it is the dad that got the daughter pregnant? What if…

No.

No.

I’m so pleased he lived long enough to suffer the perp walk.

The cane, the sweater, the needing physical support, the little show-trip.

We are going backwards at such a frightening clip that we’ll all be riding dinosaurs the way we did 5,000 years ago before you know it.

This isn’t about education this is about 74% of the clerks mentioned being unable to properly do their jobs, and a large portion of that being willful ignorance that included prolife agendas. This isn’t an inability to do algebra, its an inability or flat out refusal to do their jobs.

No

Of course, once that child is born, the teenage mother will not have access to healthcare for herself or the child, limited food stamps, an impossible to navigate welfare system, no state supported day care for working mothers, no realistic jobs or training programs, a school system that regards slavery as migrant…

Because their lives aren’t hard enough already. Haha let’s force these kids into having children they’re not able to provide for and don’t want.

A mere 26% of counties provided the caller with factually correct information

I'm 31 and unmarried but I've been slowly accumulating Le Creuset and All Clad pans because I figure even if I don't get married I deserve the good pans.

She looks like Glinda the Good Witch of the South here.

That’s what I did. Pen names are the bee’s knees. :)

My best friend recently divorced her abusive husband and I was lucky enough to receive a Facebook message from him about what a fat, triple chin, cunt bitch I am and how my life is so sad now that I’m fat. (I was about 40 pounds lighter in high school, where I first met him.) My family reacted the same way yours did…

I am 70 pounds bigger than I was in 1978. I have been, at one point, over twice my HS weight. But now, I get to be this guy every December:
