Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


4. Your parents, who thought they were finished with child rearing, probably aren’t thrilled with their interrupted dreams and the child who’ll probably get dropped in their lap.

5. It’s harder for teens with kids to find a single guy who wants to marry that type of pre-packaged burden.

6. Shedding the 60lbs you’re about to gain ain’t that easy. Sure Christina, Halle, Nicole, Salma and Rippa look great three weeks after giving birth, but what you failed to realize is that they have $1,500 an hour trainers, nutritionists, hair and makeup artists, and a fleet of nannies and spray tanners following them around 24/7. You, on the other hand, have jack.

This pregnancy pact has got to be the new non-violent watermark for adolescent asininity.

Why couldn’t these loopy lasses have done something positive like all of them adopting dogs from a shelter, or doing a group exorcism on Gary Busey, or taking on a project like Courtney Love and trying to straighten her twisted backside out?

Look, if being positive isn’t hip then why not just start chain smoking and wearing OzzFest T-shirts like girls used to do?

If you ladies really, really want to rebel, get noticed, shock people at their inner core and rivet people’s attentions then I’ve got an idea. Are you ready?

Revolt against the slutification of our culture, learn how to read, become a conservative, help the poor during spring break versus flashing your boobs, get saved and finally, go to the Young Americas’ Foundation conference this summer!

People will freak. Teachers will trip out. Parents will be stunned and will wonder what has happened to you. Yes, if you want to go against the flow, rebel chick, be a conservative, a Christian and refuse to be part of the teenage wasteland.

everyone...
I am a crime scene photographer. I, unfortunately have to see much of when babies are NOT aborted...with people who don't want them. I believe in adoption. I think it's the noblest and most generous of things that can be done.

There are twilight zones of foster care...welfare, inducements to NOT marry, rather than marry.
There is no respect for gay couples who adopt and there are children who are not ideal enough for couples who want to adopt.

We have created a world distorted and ignorant still, about gender, orientation, marriage, job prospects and family cohesion.

How to fix it, is a matter of measuring reality, confronting ignorance, comprehensive expansion of information, and the emotional dignity of the young, not just Draconian disciplines.

About Juno from an adoptive mom 2 of 2

Juno’s father and step mother have just as much a casual attitude about giving their grandchild up as Juno does. Some snappy banter and a few witty jabs pay lip service to the fact this is a tough situation, but the unbelievable pain and heartbreak that comes from placing a child for adoption is too real and completely out of place for the movie. So, they didn’t bother.

This is also the problem some have with the movie. Few people (especially flaky teenage girls like the ones in Mass.) have ever been up close to this type of situation and the only reference dippy girls influenced by media have are what they see in the movies. The idea that Juno just bounces back into her life where she left off before the baby was conceived is so misleading. These girls in Mass. Don’t seem to grasp the demands of motherhood that balance the perks. I doubt they also grasp how gutting it would be to give up a baby.

There seems to be this idea that if a woman places a child for adoption she should be forever at peace about it because she did the “right” thing, but the pain is permanent. And so much more so with abortion. There are no quick easy fixes. And it is the quick easy fix mentality that seems to be the root of the problem with these girls. They seem to be very focused on the perks of motherhood, but that is not balanced with an awareness of the responsibility and challenges that go with it.
