There is no way that 10-12 year old kids can comprehend the issue of abortion, and for their parents to be forcefully instilling their fanatical beliefs on them by having them out on the streets with protest signs is absolutely ridiculus. I cant believe that these so-called "moralistic" people would stoop so low. Reply to This Comment

However I can't say that I disagree with their participation. I have had some discussions about abortion with my kids and my neices when they have asked about it. My typical explanations is that an abortion means that the mommy didn't want to have the baby, and so the baby was killed and removed from her tummy. Nothing more graphic than that. Without exception they have thought it was the wrong thing to do. Kids aren't dumb.

the_ratking 10/25/2005 at 10:56 AM Reply to the_ratking: OK, yeah, kids aren't dumb However, what are the chances that they are going to be presented with all sides of the issue if their parents are so fiercely against abortion? The problem here is that there is no way that these kids are going to be able to get an objective view of abortion when the only thing they are being taught is that it is wrong for ANY reason. Are the children going to be taught the difference between a fetus and a baby? Are they going to be told that during the First Trimester of pregnancy a woman has every right to determine the fate of the fetus? Are they going to be told some of the perfectly viable reasons why abortion is legal (because of a rape, because of pre-natal birth defects)? Somehow, I tend to believe not. Of course, any child is going to think it is wrong to kill a BABY, but who are the parents to make that distinction, that a BABY is being killed? This is why I think that younger children arent capable of fully understanding the issue, because they arent going to be able to sit down and read the literature and make their own informed decision. For an example of what can happen when you've got a situation where parent's views are the controlling factor in their children's lives, check this out: Click For Link" target="_blank">Click For Link Its the same principle, people.
