Nathan thinks these words are somehow offensive…
“Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
This is exactly how any sane parent would feel. He is making the point that if he had a son who made a mistake, that son would not receive the same consequence for that mistake as one of his daughters (I would have chosen the word consequence over punishment, but the point is the same). What parent, if given the option, wouldn’t want their child to have sex with protection, rather than without.
Do children who are born always have value? Yes. If you value life than what are you doing about the millions of homeless in America? If you value life, than what are you doing about the millions who go to bed hungry every day? If you value life, than why does it seem to stop, for some people, when that child is born?
As George Carlin once said about the beliefs of so-called “pro-lifers”, “If you’re pre-born, you’re okay. If you’re pre-school, you’re f***ed!”

Agree that “consequence” would have been a slightly better word choice, but I totally agree with Obama’s sentiment. What parent wouldn’t want to protect their child? Advising them not to have sex is Plan A, making sure they have the facts on contraception and safe sex is Plan B.

While I don’t subscribe to all of Barak’s philosophies, I do agree with the right to choose. Carlin is correct as he is so often. I don’t want to vote for another old tired Rebublican, even though he is a war hero. I know taxes are going up exponentially either for wars or for infrastructure. Either way, I feel screwed. Al Gore could make me feel better.
