The issue of how to handle a pregnant, underage girl with an older boyfriend is not one to be taken lightly and used as a campaign tool or anti-choice issue. As an attorney for a large medical/educational institution, it is something I have wrestled with along with our physicians, nurses and social workers for years--not the good folks who answer our phones.
We don't provide pregancy terminations because we are funded by a state that does not permit that, but the moral and legal questions go so far beyond Life Dynamics' posturing as to make it clear that they and their ilk have no real concern for the minors involved in such relationships or the children of children that may result.
Once again, I am disgusted and disturbed at the belittling oversimplifying of very real human issues at the hands of these so-called "Right to Life" activists. Even now, they are attempting to insert themselves into Texas' end-of-life laws and substitute their judgment for that of qualified physicians.
It's our Right to have these folks stay out of our Lives.
