Well, don't worry, I am not one of those people. I am just stating my opinion here, in this thread, that is specifically asking pro-life people for their opinion.
Being Pro-life IS pro banning people from choice number 3, abortion.
My point is that I am not out campaigning for anything. You won't find my out protesting in front of an abortion clinic or standing on a street corner holding a sign with dead babies. I think it is wrong, but I don't go that far.
Here is what I don't understand about all of you...why do you feel the need to mock my choices? I am going to do the best job I can raising my kid. To me, that includes teaching her values and morals that my husband, myself and my family share. Just like I am assuming all of you do with your children. If it doesn't work out, she doesn't learn and chooses to go a different direction in her life, fine, but I am going to do my best to raise my kids as I see fit.
And there is nothing wrong with that. I plan to raise my daughter with the knowledge that waiting for marriage is best (I did it) but with the follow up that BC and condoms are necessary to prevent pregnancy and disease and if she needs them she can have them with no judgment from me. which is exactly what my Mom did. also 16 yr olds are rebellious and hormonal they don't always think their actions through. add to that the possibility of rape and you have to be aware that she may need to make a different choice then you would and that's OK.
Right, even after you are married many couples choose to use birth control of some sort. Education is great.

It's mocked & argued because many people with your values & morals feel the need to campaign to ban everyone from having choices.

What I don't understand is how morals and adequate education are in conflict. Eventually she will probably marry and have sex, yes? Sex ed prepares her for that, if nothing else. Have you seen the number of women who get married, don't want kids yet, and still practice "pull and pray" with their husbands? Our education system has failed them.
Education is fine and great, but education begins at home. Our family will be taught not to have sex until marriage. A value that my husband and I both hold. I know that is not the fact for many people, which is there choice.
What I forsee happening is the kid going to school on "sex day" and the coming home with questions and I will answer them as I see fit.
There are plenty of people who do the "pull and pray", it works for some, it doesn't for others. I am sure if you took a poll there would even be a few on this board. Every couple needs to do what is right for them.

No, adoption would be fine. I guess I should have said living with the situation that she put herself in for the rest of her life, no matter if she raises the child or knows that he/she is out there somewhere.
what if she was raped? she didn't put herself in that position, so would it be acceptable to you then?
I would encourage her to really think through the situation and support her if she wanted to raise the baby (as I would with any child my child gives birth to) or put the baby up for adoption.

Ick. It sounds like you don't care much either way about the baby itself, just about punishing your daughter for having sex. Why is that?
Don't have sex unless you are mature enough and in a life position to have a baby.
No, I am pro-life (surprise! I know!) and I would not respect that decision. If I have a daughter I believe that I would raise her in a way that she wouldn't put herself in that situation, or if she did, she would know the consequences (raising a baby).
So you wouldn't even allow the baby to be born and then adopted?

The mom is the mom, but I would make sure that everyone was taken care of. If my kid is dumb enough to do something like that I don't know that she would be smart enough to take care of a baby.
Soozy and Token, can you find me some articles about the regulations that dairies be antibiotic free? I am tempted to stick with store brand if that is indeed how it is run.
daycare will be doing regular whole milk but she only goes 2 days a week, most milk will be consumed at home.
Here is a story I found about milk processing. It is a fairly simple explanation, but the best I could find that didn't mention either side being right or wrong.
Antibiotics are not illegal to use on dairy cows. BUT farmers must ensure that the antibiotics are out of the animal before their milk is added to the tank that will be sold to the dairy. Just like when you are sick or your kid is sick you give them medicine to make them feel better - farmers don't want their animals to suffer needlessly either. Think of it like "pump and dump" like you would when bfing your baby after drinking or taking medicine.
Yes, sorry--I should have clarified. Antibiotic use is allowed, but the cow must be quarantined and her milk not used until the antibiotics have cleared the system. In a factory farm setting, I disagree that the use of antibiotics is primarily to prevent cows from suffering, though... but I digress.
Well, for whatever reason they are used they must be out of her system before her milk is added to the rest.
My cousin and her husband started dating in November, got engaged in April and were married in July. Everyone said that they were rushing things. They move up their wedding a year and planned it in a few weeks (everyone thought she was pregnant). Almost a year (and no baby) later they seem very happy and have mentioned multiple times that they are so glad they didn't wait.

Milk must be hormone free. As for antibiotics - farmers are regulated and tested to keep these out of the milk. Before each farm's milk is loaded onto the truck a sample of their milk is taken. Before the truck is unloaded at the processing plant a sample is taken from the truck. Before that truck's milk is unloaded into the holding tanks the milk is tested for antibiotics. Once it is cleared it is processed and jugged. If antibiotics or anything bad is found in the truck's sample each individual sample is tested. If your farm's sample is found to be the cause of the problem you have to buy the whole truck. It is to everyone's advantage to keep out any milk that contains anything that shouldn't be in the main milk supply.
The stuff that you buy in the store is good to go!
Yeah, if I wanted to be nice to him I would seperate the stuff out for him, but if he is just rude about it then I would set the trash out later if possible, or maybe try the mousetraps.
