Reply #24: To say that abortion is a form of "surgery" really is disingenuous [View All]

[question everything]

A girl does not become pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat, or by hanging out with bad crowd. She become pregnant by being engaged in sexual relationship - whether by her own consent or by force (the examples of a father molestation or a date rape).

As much as we would like to have open communications with our children, some young girls choose not to confide on this topic and some parents are not easy discussing this.

Thus, needing an abortion means admitting to your parents that you have had sex. And some girls are not ready for this discussion even though the parents may, especially after tragic consequences.

Only few weeks ago I posted a comment by a a woman who claimed that it would be OK with her if a pregnant girl died of botched abortion; that it would "send a signal" to other girls to keep their legs crossed..

I find a parallel to men admitting that they are HIV positives that, in most cases, means admitting that they are homosexuals - and they may not be ready to get out of the closet just at this time.
