Teresa Heinz Kerry has a revealing position on abortion.
Teresa Heinz Kerry says she's pro-choice but believes abortion is "stopping the process of life," it was reported yesterday.So people should have the power to stop another's life at will?"I don't view abortion as just a nothing," said Heinz Kerry in an interview with Newsweek, in which she took a side in the long-festering debate over when life begins.
Heinz Kerry once said that she was "not 100% pro-choice," but told the magazine that now the issue is black and white for her.Well first of all, if your 13-year-old daughter is getting drunk and having sex, you are severely neglecting your parental responsibilities. Secondly, this is a perfect example of an abortion of convenience. With modern medical technology it's generally safe for a girl even as young as 13 to deliver a baby. Absent complications (which would be more common for such a young mother), there's no concrete reason that the child couldn't be carried to term and born."I ask myself if I had a 13-year-old daughter who got drunk one night and got pregnant, what would I do. Christ, I'd go nuts," Heinz Kerry said.
So basically Mrs. Kerry thinks it's ok to kill babies if they're likely to be too disruptive to your lifestyle.
Further down, John Kerry has a strange quote himself.
Kerry appeared at an abortion rights rally in Washington Friday, saying, "Abortion should be rare but it should be safe and legal. And the government should stay out of the bedrooms of Americans."I'm not aware of many abortions being performed in peoples' bedrooms. And anyway, what's the idea? Wasn't the same general logic used to defend wife-beating and child abuse not too long ago?
I assume, of course, that you are also promoting the practice that if you or any of your children get a girl or woman pregnant, out-of-wedlock, that you would do the right thing and provide the child and mother-to-be with a true, legal, father to provide support, care and protection for that innocent little child? Just curious, or I wonder if you think it is all just the girl's responsibility to raise the child on her own, with one more child dumped fatherless into the barbarian culture of today? I am pro-life mind you, but I wonder about all the men professing against abortion, but then faced with an actual situation are the first to press their girlfriend to have an abortion, or abandon the child and mother, so the men are not inconvenienced in any way in their own life.
BR: You're crazy to try to pin that kind of perspective on me. I don't know any pro-life men who would be likely to press a woman to get an abortion. I'm sure some exist, but I think you're pointing to a very rare situation and presenting it as common or frequent.
Oh, I'm not trying to pin any perspective on you. I apologize if you felt I was attacking you personally. You seem like a nice guy, certainly quite a bit better than most, and thank God you feel sympathy for these innocent babies.
I'm glad to know there are still good, worthy, noble young men out there who would care for, raise and provide for their unintended children, they are rare nowadays as our culture truly stinks.
BR: I think you're mistaken. Good, worthy, noble young men don't have unintended children to take care of.
So true!! But some people just don't know the truth before they get in over their heads... this culture is hard to overcome with it's lack of good values for kids growing up nowadays.
BR: Yeah, it's sad. Still, our legal system gives the mother sole discretion over having an abortion, and nothing the father does should play a role in justifying an abortion. The father may be a deadbeat loser, and the mother may be stuck with a much tougher consequence than the father, but that doesn't mean it's ok to kill the baby to solve the difficult situation.
What I've always wondered is why is it so much more "difficult" for the woman to have her baby and give it up for adoption than to have an abortion? Yes, your body will not be what you are used to for nine months but then everything's "back to mormal" and you don't have a murder hanging over your head.
Petra: I agree. Absent complications, I think you're right. But I'm neither a doctor nor a woman.
