    If you cared to check anything that doesn't match your preconceived notions or take things out of context you'd find that I have consistently defended the rights of parents regardless of their political beliefs. Even though I don't believe Plan B should be available OTC without age restriction and I believe there should be reasonable abortion restrictions, if someone wants to get their kid Plan B, force them to have an abortion, let them have sex with whoever they want that's none of my business. In return I expect the same respect for my way of parenting - i.e. don't undermine me based on YOUR political beliefs and morals.

    Feel free to explain to me how that's unfair or unreasonable. Given that REALITY if you do interfere you can damn well expect me to be bitter, and be ready for a fight. Unlike you I respect people who stand up for what they believe in even if I disagree. I don't have to respect their beliefs but I do respect their right to believe it.

    I expect no less in return. Got it?

    Are you saying that by providing services to young people this is tantamount to by-passing parental authority?

    Are you also saying that if we do away with these so-called anti-parenting services, then this will go a long way into reasserting parental authority once again?

    No, eliminating or bypassing parental consent requirements for minor children undermines parental rights.

    GOP congressman Trent Franks: It’s hard to get pregnant from rape
    I didn't know that.. Did you?

    So, instead of working on jobs, your GOP is working on abortion WITHOUT an exception for rape. They just passed ANOTHER un-Constitutional bill that'll go NOWHERE. Oh, yeah. It includes medically unneeded ultrasound PROBING..

    But, there's no war on women...

    Tut, I don't even know what an "anti-parenting service" is. My contention is there has been a systematic effort by the left to undermine parental rights. I've previously elaborated on methods many times but no, the connecting issue is consent, not the availability of the service.

    Well sir, maybe that's because it's basically a balloon or a large finger cot Hopefully most people won't ingest them or use them to end a pregnancy, Though if it weren't for the fact they were condoms I could see the nanny staters trying to protect us from them. Choking hazard, bad for the environment and especially dangerous as a water balloon - not to mention the biohazard of used condoms on public beaches and such.

    Hmm, a piece of latex or chemicals ingested that can cause hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, dizziness, fatigue, breast pain or tenderness, changes in your menstrual periods, headache, hypertension, acne and other skin conditions, leukorrhea, vaginitis, dysmenorrhea, breast pain, abnormal pap smear and decreased libido, uterine/vaginal bleeding (including spotting, irregular bleeding, heavy bleeding, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea), ovarian cysts, upper respiratory infection and sinusitis, weight gain, depression, back pain and angioedema?

    That comparison is a little "out there." Maybe you two should try another line of attack.

    I have no problem, but you live in a perfect world if you think far too many minor kids are going to listen to their parents and other adults.

    There are other drugs to deal with that too.
    Quote:

    19 percent of high school-age boys – ages 14 to 17 – in the U.S. have been diagnosed with ADHD and about 10 percent are taking medication for it. Ten percent of high school-age girls have likewise been diagnosed.


    The CDC survey completed last year found an estimated 6.4 million children ages 4 to 17 had been diagnosed at some point, a 53 percent increase over the past decade. Approximately two-thirds of those currently diagnosed have been prescribed drugs such as Ritalin or Adderall. Those drugs can help patients with both mild and severe symptoms, but they can also cause addiction, anxiety and psychosis.
    Radical increase in kids prescribed Ritalin

    I have no problem with parents who make it a priority to know what their child does and who they do it with. None whatsoever. I wish more would.

    Doesn't mean we should deny any female an option to abortions does it?

    You are sure of that are you? But then you have to try it before you can make that statement, as for me I find the contrary to be true, but understand this; faith is the substance of things hoped for and you exercise faith in prayer

    Lol leave it to you to take what I say to some kinds of weird new level of partisan rhetoric. Didn't even mention you, just the kids.

    But, that's not an option you're OFFERING to women. It's an option you're FORCING them to go through.

    I believe the House of Representatives just passed a bill doing that very thing. Do I need to link you?

    Hope is an attitude, but not a replacement for the good orderly direction that requires actions. Sometimes those actions have unintended consequences that have to be dealt with. That requires MORE actions, like it or not. Without being willing to actually do something, then what good is just hope?

    I suppose its better than being hope... LESS!

    That's not likely to happen. There is no law on the books that take away parental consent, but kids do know how to get around it, and have for as long as their have been kids. Bet you did it to.

    Dude, drop the 6 year old line, I challenged you all to apply this to whatever age of a minor child days ago. And yes of course once and for all also, kids don't always obey their parents, but I don't raise those issues because unlike you I don't waste my time on the no-brainer stuff - you guys harp on it to avoid the bigger issue.

    I contend that 13-year-old girls should NOT be able to buy plan B over the counter without permission from their parent or legal guardian. The Obama administration at least fought for a minimum age requirement putting us on the same side. It was the right thing to do - until they dropped their opposition.

    We disagree, you think it's good, I think it's throwing girls and parents under the bus.
