"I've never understood the liberal argument and I never will. Saying this was a good decision is inane. It has no basis in logic."
It actually is based on logic. You are involving your own moral and ethical bias and that's why it makes no sense to you. When I say I agree with the court ruling it does not equate to "I agree with 11 years olds being able to have an abortion without the involvement of the parent." and that I support that notion. I have stated that in everyone of my posts on this I think.
"The government was put in place for PROTECTION of people."
From a standpoint of national security you are correct. From the standpoint of protecting us from ourselves in our own personal lives you are incorrect. You need to study government and history. It seems you're buying into the "you gotta be politically correct" nonsense when you make a statement like this Pat.
"To think an 11 year old girl has the right frame of mind to make such a decision is LUDICROUS. Trust me when I say that her decision will change very very much over time. And she has to live with it for the rest of her life."
I'm not sure how you got to know so much about the thought process an 11 year old girl goes through but I'd be more inclined to hear out Andrea or Kelly on that point.
"I dont get the freedom of choice argument here."
I for one am not making that arguement. I'm making the same arguement I began with which still is this is not an area where govenment should play a part.
"Would you want to know if your 11 year old was doing drugs, stealing perhaps? Hmnnn you prevent minors from buying beer but its ok to go in and do an Abortion."
The first one is just another dumb question that does not relate to the debate, the one about buying beer is laughable. Is that an argument or are you kidding?
"Not to worry Dale the respondants of this board do not represent an even close majority to the way America thinks. And I thank God for that!"
I for one respect the opinions of the people on this board, including yours Pat but you are making a pretty poor case for yourself at this point.
