Termination is NEVER an option - you are killing LIFE - it lives, it breaths. Termination is murder and should be treated as such

never mind. Could be construed as political.

Well luckily it remains a legal option for those that don't hold the same views.

It shouldn't be an option.

What? Why not?

Read the sticky at the top of the Community board where it clearly states that Religious and Political posts are forbidden.

Yeah they're not going tp discuss anything with you. They'll slap you with some points and remind you of the rules so good luck with that.

The rules are clearly stated, why do you need to be contacted?

verleniahall · May 5, 2015

I have messaged a mod to about the topic so that is all that needs to be done

Here is the post from Webmaster Kathy in the sticky at the top of the Community Board.

We have worked hard to keep the DISboards a place where people can discuss any topic as long as it's not illegal or profane, and as long as the participants can behave respectfully. Unfortunately, politics and religion often seem to bring out the worst behavior in people. Even normally polite posters find these topics pushing their hot buttons, and frequently lose their cool.

This past election season has been especially bad, and the rudeness and sniping between various groups has alienated posters and exhausted our moderators.

As a result, we are announcing a new policy on the DISboards, effective immediately: POLITICS AND RELIGION are no longer acceptable topics of discussion here.

This also will extend to signatures: no political statements, logos, or slogans are permitted in signatures.

Posts and threads of a political or religious nature will be locked or deleted, and are not to be restarted. We will also be updating our site guidelines to reflect this policy.

There are many sites on the web that welcome discussion and debate of a political or religious nature, but we feel that removing these topics from the DISboards altogether is in the best interests of our members. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

To get back to the ACTUAL topic, the odds are stacked against this girl and her child. It appears to be far from n ideal family situation. How old is the father?

If a thread about no public bathrooms can get 19 pages, the skies the limit on this one.

verleniahall · May 5, 2015

I saw that - and i have contacted them as to why i believe that this is a place where it should be allowed.

But it has gotten away from what the OP has asked.

OP - I'm sorry about the derailment of the thread. I will be praying for the family that something good comes from the situation

People are not "telling you how to post," they are pointing out the rules which you seem to have missed.

Nah... It will never make it that far.

Doesn't matter what anybody believes, termination is an option until the Supreme Court states otherwise. Until then people should use their opinions to guide their own lives, not the lives of others.

This is a sad state for this child and the mom. Money aside - there's no way a 13 yo can give to a baby what it needs to thrive. My DD is 14 - I'd be absolutely horrified if she was sexually active and had gotten pregnant

Sad for all.

It smells like a fish market in here. Bait, bait, everywhere bait.

I am experiencing deja vu. Isn't there already a 19 page discussion of how rules apply to all individuals?

Great. Now I'm singing "Signs" (sign, sign, everywhere a sign..)

OP - I hope for the test for all involved.

OP: Yes, that is young, and it sounds like the family situation isn't great either. She may be perpetuating what she knows. But, since the rest of this post seems pretty bleak, I wanted to let you know that there was a girl I went to high school with, and she had a baby in October of our freshman year. Because she did not terminate the pregnancy, she was able to go to my (private, and rather expensive Catholic) high school for free. She went on to college (she lived in married student housing as a single mom with her daughter), took advantage of the college's day care, got scholarships and grants because of her status as a single mom, and was the first from her family to graduate from college.

I ran into her recently - she is married, has step-children, and her daughter is now in college! (she never had any more children of her own).

It really depends on how this young girl is counselled. She can use it as a turning point in her life. But if she's not going to want better for her child than she had, then I hope she chooses adoption. I thank my stars that my DH's birth mom had the courage, foresight, and selflessness to make that choice for him.

Then I'm playing the "stupid" card now, before this thread is locked.

This thread is stupid and those arguing it..... :tongue:
