Legislators to propose more restrictive abortion law
10 comments | Read story
There are other, more constitutional ways to decrease the number of abortions in Utah. One would be to teach high school kids comprehensive sex education instead of "abstinence only." Abstinence is what Bristol Palen learned, and it's what every pregnant teenage girl in Utah learned. If we're gonna spend money to decrease abortions, lets spend it by empowering our youth.
There are plenty of things we could do with the millions of dollars this lawsuit will take. And most of them will decrease abortions much more effectively than filing a lawsuit that will certainly fail.
To make abortion illigal is only to push it to some other state. Everyone has free agency, don't take that away and that is what this bill does. No one makes us do anything, we all have to make choices.
The first choice should be abstinence, not just telling your sons and daughters to abstain but indepth teaching them why it is important and the consequences. This is a matter that begins in the home with hard talking about the subject by parents or who ever the responsible adult is.
Though Abstinence is the the preferred method there are others and there should be education programs for both parents as well as teenagers in these teaching matters.
No one wants to see the coat hanger and back alley become the abortion means again and that is exactly be what this bill would do.
In addition, high school students should be required to take some sort of parenting class. A large portion of the population will produce offspring so it would be best if they could have some sort of education about how to be a better parent.
I know, not that big of a difference, but still, a difference.
It's hard to legislate people into responsibility, so I'm behind educating kids about how to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. Then, more emphasis on adoption, please.
Anyway, some people seem to like to use taxpayers' money for their campaigns.
Who ordained Utah to carry the banner for the rest of the Nation. Let Alaska take up the cause.
