Comments on: “Punished with a Baby”? http://generationsforlife.org/2008/0401/punished-with-a-baby/ Weblog of the Pro-Life Action League's Youth Outreach Division Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:49:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: John http://generationsforlife.org/2008/0401/punished-with-a-baby/#comment-194508 John Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:11:59 +0000 http://generationsforlife.org/2008/0401/punished-with-a-baby/#comment-194508 <strong>Janny said: "We shouldn’t be teaching that sex is a dirty thing because it’s not."</strong> Um, Janny? When did we ever say sex is a dirty thing? Btw, regarding the Bible passages you cited that allegedly prove that God approves of the murder of innocent children in their mothers' wombs, I'm surprised you didn't also cite Psalm 137:9 — “Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock" — which Eric referred to in <a href="http://generationsforlife.org/2006/0511/myth-hate/" rel="nofollow">this previous post</a>, and which he further explained <a href="http://generationsforlife.org/2006/0511/myth-hate/#comment-870" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

Other countries teach sexual education. That's our problem. We shouldn't be teaching that sex is a dirty thing because it's not. God is pro choice by the way. Here's some bible passage proof: Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea 13:16 Numbers 5:11-21 Numbers 31:17 2 Kings 15:16 We teach abstinence in this country. Other countries teach sexual education. That’s our problem. We shouldn’t be teaching that sex is a dirty thing because it’s not.

However, violence against the child will not solve any problem. We need to support organizations that provide real choices for these young women. Yes, I agree that if someone is going to do "adult things" he/she must accept adult consequences. But the truth is that often there is a cycle that needs to be broken, or simply, she made a mistake. I've made mistakes, I've gotten physically carried away in the heat of the moment. It's easy to do. Still, the baby is not a punishment. The child is a gift. Let's find ways to care for both, not choose between mother and child.

If a girl engages in sex, more often than not, she WILL get pregnant. It's NOT punishment...it's the NATURAL order of things. She had her CHOICE to engage in it or not. She made her CHOICE, now live with the consequences as a RESPONSIBLE person. IF it's not in the "plan", give the baby up for adoption..but don't kill him/ her just so you don't want to face up to the consequences of your action. What was Mother Teresa's saying : "It's poverty to have to kill a baby so that you can continue in your lifestyle" We’re getting caught up in Obama’s lingo and rhetorics…..

With all the opportunities afforded to girls at that age, college, career, just growing up, a baby is, dare I say it, in very few of 16 year olds plans and nor should it be. Do you believe that 16 year olds should be gifted with a baby? I think any girl who gets pregnant at 16 probably feels a little punished.
