Why Pro-Choice Groups Think They Can Win Back The House For Democrats

The same can be said of your son. Unprotected sex goes both ways you know. Perhaps a sit down with your son will help him to realize that he alone should take more responsibility for where and how his seed is planted and to stop assuming that it is the woman's responsibility. Perhaps a little lesson on how to process to a consequence might get him to see that using a condom should be as necessary as brushing his teeth 3 times a day. This way a possible abortion of a pregnancy produced with his seed would be impossible because he controls where he puts it. Oh a perhaps a discussion on the character of the woman you might want to reproduce with is also in order. We: check his box off once we know he has got a clue.

Yeah! Take a bow, that was EXCELLENT.....

GA girl.....voted up....wish I could vote up 100x......seriously, it's one sexy girls fault that said son didn't use a condom....let me guess....the old....it doesn't feel the same wearing one was probably his excuse.....oh right....it's the sexy girls responsibility not said son.....usual bs from the anti choice/anti woman crowd.

I talked to my son about birth control and his responsibility. I emphasized that if he didn't do his part he couldn't complain if his sex partner became pregnant. I also told him to own up and not try to push the responsibility upon her or accuse her of having "other" partners if a pregnancy occurred as this could be tested and if he'd had sex with a young woman he needed to be respectful if conditions when awry.

I think we as parents much be diligent in making sure our children have the information that's needed when they become sexually active. My daughters knew what was expected and followed through on their part. I told all three if they had a partner that fussed about using birth control to walk away and find another partner as this one wasn't doing their part.

Now that is what you call parenting Js 44567!

Thanks, GA Girl, I'm sure my diligence came in part from asking my mother about sex and her answer was, "You've watched the animals" and that was all she'd say. That certainly wasn't enough. lol

You all are so sanctimonious, aren't you? What happened to the old argument of "in the heat of the moment"? Of course, birth control should be practiced by both. Both of my sons were instructed by both me and their Dad. But, suppose they both had a "in the heat of the moment" thing. You know, where hormones just get the best of you! He almost became a father and sure learned from that experience. She learned, also.

For the record, your assumption that I am anti choice is just that....an assumption based on prejudice.

Who are you addressing this comment to magnoliaave? Watch the code of honor. I don't think anyone is beating you up over anything. This is simply a discussion and "sanctimonious" is all in your thinking not our's. Thanks.

magno: I believe that the "sanctimonious" tone was a direct result of you seeming to blame the "sexy girl" and ONLY the "sexy girl" in your post. It came across quite clearly that you felt she was a tramp who was trying to "trap" your son. Your post makes it sound as if your son (and by extension, all men) have NO responsibility when they spread their semen around.

That was my take on the comment too....

Look, as the parent you can only do/teach/preach/lecture as much as you can. It's still up to the child to think for themselves. If the "heat of the moment excuse works for guys, then it should work for girls as well" No more double standard!

magnoliaave post clearly implicated the Women as the sole cause of the unfortunate situation and take umbrage to this of a number or reason that I have clearly outline above. It is hard to argue that the heat of the moment can happen 3 times with there different partners and you son perhaps should consider the depth and extent of a relationship before practicing serial unprotected monogamy which can and often do lead to sexually transmitted diseases (babies also included in this possibility). So judge the woman all you want but you need to use the same measurement on your son.

I had a very unfortunate experience with a a man and his "heat of the moment" debacle and was raped by a therapist of abused women I'd dated twice. When the District Attorney read this man's confession he looked at me and said, "Why sully a man's reputation for a moment of passion" So needless to say, whenever I hear about a women being called "easy" a "tramp" "loose" "sexy" or any of this I find it particularly offensive.

For women the heat of the moment equates names like slut and whore where as the heat of the moment of a man it equates a moment of passion. I got to say I real sick of men directing the narrative on issues like this.

This incident occurred over 30 years ago and I was pretty taken aback by some of the men's attitudes about rape and women. The judge did give this guy hell, however in front of a lot of people so that helped. The man in question was highly offended that he was reprimanded. Luckily for me I had male friends that were by my side all the way. All these years later we are still fighting against those that feel that women "ask for it" when a man abuses them and if they have a "title" we're suppose to suck it up. This does no one any good in my opinion. Thanks, feliznavidad.

The guy should have received jail time,js-445607.

I use a lot of links to different causes that have taken off with great speed also Shelby. Thanks. Anyone can design a petition and I've done this. Even if 100 sign and pass it on there can be a huge impact. We should never feel defeated in our causes or believe our voices won't be heard. The social media is catching a clue and all we have to do is participate.
