Reply #90: I'm sorry [View All]

I just came back from taking my kid for a quick swim.

Maybe my eyes are still cloudy. I'm having trouble understanding your point.

You're saying that I should be demanding that there should be a law passed demanding that my daughter not continue her pregnancy? Am I understanding that right?

It's not making any sense to me. The decision should be my daughter's shouldn't it? I guess I'm just left scratching my head and squinting. Why would I want a law demanding my daughter or anyone's daughter must get an abortion?

I'm lost.

Anyway, I don't believe an adult should be able to take a minor child anywhere without their parents' permission. So if you take your neighbor's ten year old boy and take him 300 miles to an amusement park without telling his parents, I'd say you should be subject to arrest, for stupidity at least. Same for just about any other reason. You just don't take kids who are not your own, to other places without their parents' permission. Would any of us do that? It seems crazy. If we have one of my kid's friends over and we go for an ice cream cone, we even call his parents to tell him. I wouldn't dream of taking a kid overnight without telling the parent. They'd go nuts looking for him/her. Wouldn't anyone?
