When is a kid a kid?
(Category:
News & Notes
)
When they need life-saving prescription medication they are a kid, therefore not permitted to carry prescription medication.
When they want a tan they are a kid, therefore not permitted to use a tanning bed.
When they want an abortion they are not a kid. They can leave class with the school's blessing, escorted by a non-guardian and unrelated adult, and go get an abortion.
In California (and too many other states), a kid is a kid when a special interest group has bullied or bargained their narrow focus into law.
Stop legislating morality. Let kids be kids and let their parents raise them.

Luckily there are states (I believe NY and NJ are part)where it is ILLEGAL for a non-guardian to take a monior for abortion in state as well as out of state.
Not that it has much to do with it.....but my opinion about this whole abortion shit is short:
you f***,know what it can come to,now take resposibillity.Abortion is just an easy way out of resposibillity.
Anyone who would have my child have an abortion without me knowing about it,is a criminal and belongs in jail.
Speaking about non-guardians...isn't it the case for years that we are only guardians when the kids are at home?You send them to public school and temporaly loose you guardianship.As you see in the case of license removal if they act up in school here.
Its a screwed up system we live in!
Posted on this the other day. Here.
Very important distinctions are being made every day be people everywhere.
