Let's get back to the moral basics

Posted October 06, 2007 11:00 pm

This is a response to the letters in support of Planned Parenthood. We wouldn't need Planned Parenthood if we would teach our daughters how to abstain from immoral relationships until they are married. Not just daughters but sons.

What happened to being free from immorality and partying and such things? Where has our innocence gone? It is us, the parents, who need to clean up our acts, and teach our children -- not the schools, churches or institutions -- how to live our lives in a decent, caring and moral way. Then we won't need Planned Parenthood or comparable companies.

I do agree we need health care for the ones who can't afford it. But abortion as birth control? How much against our Christian upbringing can we get?

Let's get back to the basics, and teach our children how not to get in a situation where they feel they would need a place like Planned Parenthood to run to.
