Conservative Republicans accuse Democrats and liberals of wanting to prevent teens from telling their parents about pregnancies/ abortions. I have responsibility for two teens, and I frankly don't know a single progressive parent, including myself, who doesn't want their children to come to them in this case.
And I trust absolutely that if that issue came up for one of my kids, they would come to me. I wouldn't have to FORCE them. They don't fear me. We just have that kind of relationship, you know?
I wonder why it is that right wingers feel that they have to rely on the government to intrude on their private family decisions to the extent of FORCING their teens to be open with them?
