At what Age, should a person, be able to make their own adult decisions? Should a 5 year old, be able to decide without their parents consent, to do what ever they want? such as getting Gender reassignment surgery? Or.... Smoke cigarettes? do illegal drugs? commit crime? join a gang? START HAVING SEX WITH SOMEONE 18 OR OLDER? Be exposed to porn? be able to vote? Be in charge of the stock market? Be able to run for President? be forced to work at underage sex islands(owe wait, that one wouldn't be with consent). I'm just curious, to Democrat Politicians, where the line of "Consent" begins and ends? Democrat Politicians, once tried having 16 year olds being able to vote.
What a great question. When I was growing up, you could drink at 18. Cigarettes weren't considered bad... they were considered cool. Gender reassignment was up there with defecating in the produce section, so it wasn't an issue. Drugs were universally evil... although marijuana was gaining social acceptance to a degree. Now... anything goes... even murder (commit murder at breakfast in NYC or LA and you'll be home for dinner). So your question is a fantastic one for the times.
republicans.... at what age should children be forced to have their step dad's baby? I say if they are old enough to have a baby, they are old enough to choose not too
I say it's time to stop forcing genital mutilation like circumcisions on babies without consent, let them decide for themselves when they are 18
weird beliefs "Va. Lawmaker: Disabled Kids are God's Punishment for Abortion" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/va-lawmaker-disabled-kids-are-gods-punishment-for-abortion/ "Republican Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall said at a press conference last week that God is taking "vengeance" on parents who have had abortions by making their other children disabled" "Rep. Todd Akin Says Women Can Shut Down Post-Rape Pregnancy" https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/summeranne/rep-todd-akin-says-women-can-shut-down-post-rape "From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that down."
And a “street kid” needing emergency appendectomy? How about a teen wanting a birth control implant? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mature_minor_doctrine
Let us look at one type of rape - child marriage If I put up a list of “red” states - how much overlap would there be?
That is utterly irresponsible. I think that you get pregnant when you are 12 or 13 years old. Children having children is a recipe of societal disruption. We have already seen the negative effects of this, and you are advocating for it. On a further note, I now understand why the drag queens are coming into the schools to have “story hour” with very young children. It’s out of Lenin’s playbook. If you get the youth, you can change a generation. While the vast majority of people are not gay or transexual, getting to kids at a young age might get into the minds of some of them so that they might be confused as they get older. It’s insidious and cruel, but it could effective. The parents who want their children to be exposed to this should be allowed to let it happen. They can make arrangements for such meetings outside of the schools, outside of school hours. For those parents who disagree with it, their children should be exposed to it at such a young age.
I'm with you 100%! The vast majority of Europeans (who learn English as a second language in school) speak English better than the average American. Shame! Shame!
I think it was Mayor Pete or someone equally as famously LGBTQ who said “if all the heterosexual depictions and interaction did not turn me “straight” then how could one obscure book in a library change anyone’s orientation?
Depends more on the maturity of the individual. I have met 13 year olds who are more mature than 30 year olds
16 year olds voting sounds like a good idea. With their classes, they would be way better informed than the average adult. I think it's the wrong question. The question is at what level of maturity or sophistication. This correlates with age, but not exactly. Some people are mentally incapacitated and so will be no better off than a 5 year old at age 18. Some 12 year olds are more mature than the average person. Not to say experience counts for nothing, but many people learn the wrong lessons from their experiences anyway. Consent in ethics requires somebody to appreciate the consequences of their decisions. I think age could be used as a rule of thumb, but not an absolute. By default, consent should be assumed unless demonstrated otherwise if a person is 16 and claims they consented to anything. If they're 12, then it would be more case-by-case, regardless of which issue you're referring to. Being manipulated is not consent. But when we're talking about gender reassignment, it's normally something that's been an issue for many years and the parents would rather it not be an issue, but it is.
as being a former stepparent, I can say that being a parent was one of the best moments in my entire life. It was one of the best things I ever did. I'd still be there for them if I could be, but once their mother and I broke up, she wouldn't let me see or talk to them, and I wasn't either one of the biological fathers, so I had no right. So, I find it pathetic that you put children in the middle of this. Especially, since democrat politicians have so many disability programs, and mental health programs out there. You people sicken me, on how hypocritical you're. You're there causing the problem, and then pretend that you have the solution, but don't want to solve anything, or help, because then it would destroy liberal politicians reason for causing the problems in the first place. I don't know if I can have biological children or not. But I DO KNOW THIS............... YES EVERY PARENT WANTS A HEALTHY CHILD, BUT EVEN IF I HAD A CHILD WITH A PYSHICAL DISABILITY, I WOULD STILL LOVE HIM OR HER FOR HIM OR HER, AND NOT TRY AND TREAT THEM MUCH DIFFERENT THAN IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE. I would feel blessed, that God sent me an Angel from heaven, for All Children are little miracles in general!!! (some simply get murdered and thrown away in the garbage by liberals threw abortion). I'D TRY AND MAKE THEM FEEL NORMAL. IT SUCKS THAT DEMOCRATS LIKE TO CONSTANTLY USE CHILDREN AS POLITICAL TOOLS. I FIND IT SICK and demented, THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You saying that, reminded me of the mother of my stepchildren. When their mother and I were broken up for like two weeks, and we were staying at two different places, she would drop the kids off in the mornings. The kids would come over, and ask me, Daddy, why don't you Love mommy any more? Any one with half a brain can understand that a child isn't going to come up with that on their own, and that my ex told them to ask me that. Which is very immoral and sick, and shows how bad of a person and bad of a parent she really is. Because no good parent would ever put their children in the middle of their drama, or arguments. What did I do? I sat them down, and was a good Parent. Just like democrats are children, and need to be disciplined and taught morality and right from wrong. I told them, that I will Love them, no matter what happens between their mother and I in life, and will always be there for them. I also told them, not to ever bring it up again, or they will be disciplined. I realize it wasn't their fault for brining it up, however, they knew that I wasn't a gutless parent afraid to discipline them, and that they were going to stop playing into their mother's hands(she was a child, and democrat ways, and most democrats act like children as well.).
i'm so sick of democrats with abortion. You people don't care about a woman's body. Not really. You simply care about using it as an excuse for power. At least most of you. because if you were worried about a woman's body, you'd also be worried about the bodies and the choice of people not wanting to get the vaccine, but still wanting to keep their jobs that some have had their entire lives, that have their whole livelyhood like their pension and 401 k's wrapped up in. any true believer of God would never support abortion, because then, JESUS CHRIST WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS IF MARRY HAD ABORTED HIM!!!
i'm sorry princess, but I'm not a democrat. I don't know if the politicians that you posted did say or do anything bad in general, but if they did, I don't justify it, no matter if they're a democrat or republican politicians. you keep justifing jeffrey epstien with Bill Clinton and your other democrat politicians though! you keep justifying your politicians raping underage girls at sex island.
Where did I indicate you are a Democrat? Please reply to what is written rather than some weird thing pulled from mid air. Now talking about reading please read my signature and think carefully on the messages therein Oh! And if you EVER insinuate that I justify Jeffery Epstein again I WILL take that as a personal attack. I have a long history on this board for calling out ALL his confederates and supporters STAY ON TOPIC there are rules for posting please read them http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?help/terms
sorry about your situation, but has nothing to do with taking the right to choose away from women and little girls that have been raped I 100% support a stepfathers rights, in fact, they should take part of the child support obligation as part of the stepparent role, split it 50\50 with the other father while married (and after if they divorce with visitation rights)
