[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 67285149, member: 342064"] If you followed the thinking that your daughter can make up their own minds and then support them on that I think you are being neglectful. That would mean if she said she wanted to get a big tattoo on her back or take drugs you would have to allow her to make her own decision and then support that. I would think that a young daughter isn't old and wise enough to know all the consequences of a decision like this. There is nothing wrong as a responsible parent to advise your children on what you think is a good and wise way to live. Or to get them to seek advice and support from others so that she can make an informed decision. But as a Christian we have a particular belief on abortion so we should be encouraging and advising our children along these lines. This modern aged idea that people have the right to do whatever they want is wrong even if it is their own bodies. Especially if they are young. We have gone to far with this and are allowing some young people to do what they want and this is causing rebellion and some to develop issues beyond their years. I think we miss an opportunity and in some ways neglect our responsibilities to point our kids in the right direction. There are special circumstances that make it harder to deal with these issues but I dont think we should be always looking for the easy way out all the time as well. [/QUOTE]
