Nah not he's just one of those cats who.argues their narrative to death, no matter how much logic they have to throw out the window to.connect the dots.... But I at least give him props because duke has a tendency to.concede once his narrative is shot down...
If you guys dont think removing parental consent for minors marginalizes parents in any way so be it, im not gonna argue it. We will just agree to disagree...

More over the 'IMO' in my post stand for 'in my opinion'. :manny: I'm not stating my position as a fact or objective truth, nor am I asking you to agree with it.

Hell, I admit when I'm even inconsistent....but this dude really forgets he lives in a society sometimes.

Its the lesser of two evils.

But your opinion is informed with sheer bullshyt.

Even if it removes parental autonomy...so?

Parents tell their kids not to do a lot of shyt, and sex is just one of those things.

but your opinion does not facilitate a policy that encourages and reinforce what you deem a positive trend.

So yeah, your opinion (however uninformed) DOES matter.

Don't try to be agreeable with me. I'm not your friend. You don't have to like me.:ufdup:

You do knows kids can already get a form of birth control without their parents consent right? How would this render them anymore "out of the loop" than they already are?

i'm not gonna try to convince that parents should be left in the loop, cause the numbers are too lopsided. I'm just gonna say its good that the numbers are down, and i wish parents weren't being sidestepped in the process.

It wouldnt, your right. I actually have no idea why parental consent was ever implemented in the first place.

There's no way really to control for what kids are going to do at the end of the day (unfortunately). I would say its better for them to have access to as much protection as they can in the event that they do it. The kids who are going to have sex are honestly going to do it anyway :yeshrug:

You would think that folk would be happy their kids are taking measures to protect themselves, with or without the parents' consent/knowledge.

:pachaha: I dont think anyone has expressed outrage or disappointment in the reduction in teen pregnancy/abortion, or has stated that this reduction is a bad thing in anyway... no need to reach.

Considering how you were bemoaning this because "parents are being marginalized" and as another example of the nuclear family being dissolved, how is it a reach to say that you were disappointed in the reduction of teen pregnancy? Or at least in how it was achieved in part by not requiring parental consent from teens seeking birth control?
