This is just my opinion.

Many of the pro lifers (which is a term that I really don't understand because if you're pro life, you should be for all life, but yet many of you support war and the death penalty form what I've read in this thread) are saying in various ways that the women who have are having sex, should do so with the expectation of becoming pregnant. This is a point, I adamantly disagree with. I have known women who were faithfully taking their birth controls pills, women who have had IUD's, women who have had tubal ligations, women who's husbands have had vasectomies, women who have told by their doctors that they never would conceive, all with the expectations of NOT becoming pregnant. Yet they still did. They had a choice to make. I don't think it's our right to tell them what the choice may be in their lives. I've said in this thread earlier, unless we know exactly what a women is feeling, thinking, dreaming at that exact moment in their lives, we don't have a right to judge any decision they may make. Either to go forward with the pregnancy or terminate the pregnancy, my opinion is that it's their choice.

And for those of you calling the people on the other side of your argument names to get your points across, I think your arguement loses credibility, no matter which side your opinion falls on.

If my 13 year old daughter thinks she is old enough to have sex, then she is old enough to make that choice.

To imply that a thirteen year old is capable of even making such a choice that has all of the physical and emotional ramafications that sex does is ludicrous! A child who one minute still wants to play with dolls and the next minute is arguing with her parents that she's old enough to go to the mall by herself is definitely not old enough to make this decision. A child is not capable of understanding what all of the implications of starting to become sexually active are.

If you have plans to have children in the future, I suggest you re-evaluate your position.
