Minors- you can't go on a field trip without a parent's permission but here take an abortion pill, it's like candy!

I often wonder how many people pay attention to the world around them. How many people go beyond the news stories and actually think and formulate opinions for themselves? How many Americans care enough about the world and their community to act when something needs action? It doesn’t appear to be too many.

I live in the great state of Tennessee. My views and opinions are among the majority here. Country-wide I am in a smaller group yet still mostly the majority. Why is it our voice is never heard though? I think it has to do with our lazy attitudes. We have taken for granted that we have the ability to be vocal and change our community if we feel the need for it. Pretty soon, we will be in the minority as we are stepping ever closer to socialism.

Amazing as I was listening to Power 96, a radio station in Miami, I discovered there are people just like me in Miami. Miami is filled with many differing cultures and people. I was amazed to hear a female radio DJ be against allowing minors to obtain Plan B. While our views are not on point in all areas concerning abortion, it was great to hear another female who formulated her own ideas and stuck to them regardless of who might be in opposition. So first before I go into the FDA and Plan B, I want to thank Ivy at Power 96 for suggesting people take personal RESPONSIBILITY for their own actions. It is an amazing simple concept that so few people get and I am pleased to see that in other more diverse areas of the United States, that concept is still alive.

Back to the topic at hand: now, thanks to a decision by a US Court, 17 year-olds can obtain Plan B, also known as the morning after abortion pill, without a prescription. The FDA had requested this be limited to adults 18 years and up. Now this is the FDA mind you, not a judge without medical training who is making the decision to allow a minor to obtain an abortion without a prescription and without parental consent.

If your child is going to go on a field trip, a parent or guardian must sign a permission slip. If your child (under 18) is going to have a surgical procedure, a parent or guardian must sign forms permitting the doctor to perform the procedure. If a 17 year-old walks into a gas station to buy cigarettes, they are denied because they are a minor. However, the courts believe it is ok for them to obtain a pill to prevent pregnancy? This is not Tylenol. It amazes me that people actually think this way and that so few people are upset enough to do anything about it.

I suppose the next solution is Plan C; kill your children after they are born. Oh wait, that has already happened. Surprised? Don’t be, just read this article: http://www.suite101.com/blog/marilynnhughes/mother_tells_story_behind_baby_born_alive_left_to_die_in_clinic Note in particular the woman’s description of the baby:
Sycloria said she stood against the wall, glancing in horror at her newborn baby. "She wasn’t moving much. Twitching, gasping for air. She wasn’t crying though, just hissing. Hissing sounds only."
But what did the staff do to help this child- born and alive?!?
According to Williams, Gonzalez, the clinic’s owner, who has no health care licensing, came into the waiting room, cut the umbilical cord, and scooped Shanice’s body into a red biohazard bag, sealed it and tossed it into a trash can

“An actual baby”

Sycloria told the Florida Catholic that she still recalls the most startling part: Her 23-week-old pregnancy looked like an actual baby. "They never said anything to me that would make me think it was a baby. They never said anything like ‘baby,’ ‘fetus.’ Nothing. They only said things like ‘termination’ and ‘pregnancy’ and ‘termination of pregnancy’," "They cheated me because they didn’t tell me everything and the doctor wasn’t there."

Can you really wonder why Columbine happened? Can you really question why society has a lack of respect for human life? We teach our children that life has no value when we promote the killing of an unborn child and call it a choice. Why should we be surprised when our children reflect what we have taught them and choose to kill another human being? It is, after all, their choice isn’t it.
