NY Times: What's the Matter With Kansas?
Check out today’s NY Times editorial on the Kansas craziness I wrote about yesterday. Glad to know I’m not the only one freaked out by logic that says statutory rape is all good so long as you get married:
The fact that parents are willing to go along with these unions does not make them right. Chances are that in most of these cases, as apparently happened with Mr. Koso's family, when the parents found out that a baby was on the way, they were eager for the child to be born to married parents. But neither parental nor state approval makes it right to tie a girl as young as 12 to another person in what is supposed to be a lifetime commitment.

So....
It's okay for a 12 year old girl to get an abortion without her parents consent but not okay for her to get married with it?
Just pointing out the flawless liberal logic.
Reality Check.
It's WRONG for a 12 year old to get married under ANY conditions.
It's WRONG for a 12 year old to be sexualy active under ANY conditions and get an abortion without her parents knowledge.
Get some sense of right and wrong people.
It's WRONG for a grown man to have sex with a 12-year-old girl.
She is not her parents' property. *Her* body is the one that's pregnant, SHE is the one who has the right to decide what to do with it.
