2. I agree with you.
But children of single parents should not be referred to as punishments, as some in this forum have stated.

11. No they shouldn't.
However, teenage pregnancies, in most cases, are experienced as a punishment. Even when one is surrounded by a supportive and understanding family. Even if it is carried to term. I don't think any children are punishments, but the pregnancy itself can be. And, if a teenage girl does get an abortion, that is often experienced as a "punishment" as well.

Many of these "punishments" have ended in blessings, with time. But, one point is that the teenage girl that becomes pregnant suffers exponentially more than the guy that impregnated her.

22. Obama's words should not be taken out of context.
He was referring specifically to his children and the state forcing them to have children. Nothing else.

25. Twist Much?
Forcing a woman or young girl to give birth is punishment and yes as a forced birth the resulting baby is punishment. Get over the fact.

21. Um, Hillary is pro-choice as well.
So Obama's "lead" on this one, is hers as well.

These people who are arguing that Obama's pro-choice positions are wrong aren't arguing for Hillary, that's for sure.

6. Just as your 17 year old daughter deserves the right to choose, she also deserves to
categorize her pregnancy or lack thereof as a "punishment" or not.

Obama's position on is sound on this issue, it's his judiciousness, or lack thereof, in his choice of words. No one should make the judgment that having an unwanted baby is a punishment except for the parent.

14. And neither should the fundies who oppose abortion
but also oppose assistance to those welfare queens who don't know how to do anything but fuck. They don't care about those teen moms, and think that "they made their bed, they should lie in it", they deserve what they get. To force a woman to carry a child - IS a punishment.

This from someone who supports a woman who talks about having a new conversation regarding abortion?

30. My aunt was 45 years old
back in the 1940's when she discovered she was pg. My uncle was 50. They had been married 25 years, had two grown daughters, and a 2 year old grandson. She had a "therapeutic" abortion because of her "heart condition". They wanted no more children at their ages.

My aunt told me that she was have sold her house if she had to in order to get enough money for abortion.

Yes, I am sure a baby would have been a curse to them.
