Introduction:
Before reading this article and
definitely before sending an email, read the sources and pledge sections.
“Why does
every poll show broad support for vetoing minors' decisions? Because
minors don't get polled. They can't vote.
That's the way
it used to be with blacks and women: You can't protect yourself when you
don't have the franchise.”
Let us take a
look at the statement above. Let us leave out the abortion concept,
whether it is good or evil, and focus on how minors are being kept from
protecting themselves. William Saletan’s logic is so flawed that it is
the perfect example of the backward logic used by the far left. The
ideology is wrong on so many levels but it can be summed up in a simple
statement.
Every single
adult use to be a child and can draw from the experience of being a child,
slaves and women didn’t grow up to be white men. White men had no idea
what it was like to be a slave or a woman.
Adults know
exactly what it is like to be a child. Drawing on that experience, most
adults are honest with themselves. They know that as a child they
couldn’t have made that decision and they also know that as a child they
thought they could have.
Another
problem with Salentan’s statement is that adults are legally responsible
for their children. Adults provide for children who can not provide for
themselves. It’s the perfect form of socialism. It’s taking from those
who make the right decisions in life, who are more than able to provide
value to society and giving to the people who are not able (or willing in
most cases) to provide for themselves.
Is Bristol
able to provide for her child? Can she provide a home, a source of
income, a steady way of life to raise a balanced child? Without even a
high school education completed it’s going to be very tough. Providing
will be easier now that she is in a family of stature but will still be
very tough. Society would then have to provide for her and her family.
People who made the right decisions to not get pregnant, who chose to be
responsible enough not to have to make the abortion decision, people who
sacrificed, scrimped and saved so that they could provide for their family
are going to have to pay for Bristol’s child in some form or another.
The far left,
as with the far right with their no abortion even with cases of incest and
rape, are so far out of touch with reality that they don’t stop to think
about the simple principal of thinking your internal logic through a bit
more before you spew it out on pages for the world to see.
Where does it
end? Children should have adult rights at the age of 16? 15? 12? 10?
Should we allow children to determine that they don’t have to go to school
and can stay out past 10pm when they enter high school? Jr. High? The 6th
grade? Where, William Salentan, is the line? Maybe there shouldn’t be
one. A child hits 3 years old and they should be able to eat all the ice
cream, spend all the time in the tanning salon and hang out on the streets
any time they want. They should be able to drive, vote and fight for our
country too. While you’re at it, let’s let them make life and death
decisions.
William
Salentan, socialism doesn’t work. You’re ridiculous to believe it does.
Slavery has nothing to do with children. Children are loved, respected,
admired. My children are my legacy and it’s in my best interest for my
legacy to be as strong as possible. It’s in my best interest to provide
for my children and it’s love that drives my decisions. Don’t be so naïve
as to compare them to slaves. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Admit it, Brockenbrough is way too far out in la-la land to take
seriously. If parents want to reward their kids by allowing them to
skip school and watch a movie, go for it. If parents want to allow
their kids to fit in at school and get interested in a pop idol, go for
it. The lawsuits are a bit crazy but people do weird things to get
money...that's more of a lawsuit issue than a Miley Cyrus issue.
Basically...just leave Miley out of the entire article. She's a
kid; leave her alone.
Before you send any other comments, remember this too: Stupidity
is not in the eye of the beholder. Stupidity is believing that you are not
stupid like the rest of us. And yes, I am doing something about it.
I am posting my opinions for public comment which evokes public thought.
Things may get worse through this "public thought process" but at least
they are changing.
My Pledge
As you may notice in the many articles to come, I absolutely can not
stand people that have an opinion about something they know very little
about or didn't take the time to research before giving their opinion. I
pledge that I will not write a single article about a subject that I don't
know enough about to see several sides of the issue. If you think I am
missing something,
I'd love
to be the first to know about it.
