"This is a serious question"??? Don't make me laugh! It is a hateful slam at Liberals, and not a very good one, at that!
Of course I did not teach my girls to be promiscuous. That's ridiculous! And I certainly did not EVER tell them that abortion was OK! (I'm pro-life!) But, I also know that they were women when they got pregnant, and only they could decide whether to carry on with their pregnancies. (Which they both did, thank God!!)
I never said that having babies out of wedlock was a good idea either. I very much believe in marriage, even with my poor track record with same.
This is NOT an example I set for my kids, nor is it one I want them to follow.
You must get your information from cereal boxes......

Are you kidding?
1. Abortions are NOT OK, but I have no right to tell YOU what to do with a child. Do I believe in abortion? Not really. I think people should abstain or use protection, but since I'm not going to take care of the child, then I have no right to tell someone else what to do.
2. People have babies out of wedlock - Conservative or "Liberal" - so don't blame it on a particular group.
3. See number 2...
The example is set by PARENTS and by CHOICES people make, not by people on the left or right. Some priest have been discovered to have molested children in the past or "outed" as gay. Should I make a ridiculous statement saying the far right teaches child molestation and homosexuality?

"Reality is an absolute, lifestyles is an absolute, a speck of grime is an absolute and so is a human lifestyles. Whether you reside or die is an absolute. Whether you've got a work of bread or now not, is an absolute. Whether you devour your bread or see it vanish right into a looter’s belly, is an absolute." Ayn Rand Those are the varieties of matters of which one have to be most likely targeted. But at the identical hand, we have to be as most likely targeted that tyrants do come to energy, and likewise that we don't seem to be the sector's police drive--one other absolute. We cannot be. It is not our situation to reduce the strengths of Americans by means of obligating them to matters they could now not willingly obligate others to. The change among black-and-white pondering and grey morals, is that one has now not taken the time to examine what amidst the grey is the black, and what's the white, after which protective the well whilst feasible and removing the black whilst feasible. Or a minimum of of being targeted what they're.

I will teach my children abortions are legal and if needed can be used- I don't want them to need them
I don't want my kids having an unplanned pregnancy- if they plan to get pregnant and have the resources to do so but aren't married it wouldn't bother me at all.
it is not a 'must'. as long as they are using protection and having sex for the right reason on the right terms (IE not because everyone else it doing it, not to make someone love them, not mistaking sex for love,ect) then its okay
is it better that they are in love with someone and are in a relationship?
yes, love feels good, love is good.
I can't control when, where, or who my kids will have sex with- I can just teach them responcibility

WE do??? Holy Crap!!
How about this concept. My daughter won't need to use the option of abortion because she knows that when she become sexually active she is going to come to me, so we can take her to the doctor and get her on the pill. NO abortion, no unwanted pregnancy!! What an amazing concept!! What's more amazing as of today she still wants to wait until she is married. Another amazing fact.
What's more amazing is that in the red state I live in after an accident they wanted her to take a pregnancy test. She had to fight tooth an nail not to take that test because virgins can't get pregnant seeing as Jesus isn't coming that root again there was no way she was pregnant!!
Imgine it's her friends with republican parents who keep trying to push her to have sex with anyone as long as she is having sex.
No being a liberal just means my children can talk to me freely on the subject! Avoiding unwanted pregnancies without having to resort to abortion to hide the fact from mommy and Daddy!

I have seen the way some liberal parents teach their kids.
Most liberal couples want to be their kids' best friends rather than their parent. They will hang out with their kids and try to bond on a level as equals rather than being a teacher and a parent and having to make choices as an adult.
Liberal parents refuse to make hard and fast rules for their family. Instead they try to make everything relative to certain situations. They try to make their kids see all points of view instead of giving their kids a strong moral/ethical/religious foundation first.

Well, do you actually want an answer from a liberal? Probably not, you seem more interested in bashing and hearing yourself talk. But what the hell, I'll bight, and make a modest attempt to educate you as to how one actual liberal really feels.
Abortions, obviously, are not great and no one wants them. However, we can manage to see that the effects of outlawing abortion would be disastrous, and sometimes it is the best coarse of actions. Of course, the idea that life begins from the moment of conception is based on RELIGIOUS principles. That should clear up for you why it's not as "immoral" for people who do not share your religious "teachings." It won't, of course, but it should.
Second of all, I really don't care if people want to buy into the concept of marriage, or just live together in a committed relationship. Again, marriage is a RELIGIOUS institution. That's why it's so much more important to you, a religious person, than to me, a person who does not subscribe to any one particular faith.
As for the third one, you're right. I have no problem with people having sex outside marriage. Why? Because it's YOUR holy book that condemns it sweetie, not mine. I would teach my kids not to wait till marriage, but rather, to wait for someone who you really care about and who you know really cares about you, to listen to your own inner voice that tells you what you are and aren't ready for, and to not think of sex as a dirty or immoral thing.
Anyway, to answer your question in a nutshell, I would not teach my kids that i is a "must" to have many partners before marriage (although,honestly, I do think it's stupid to "save yourself" and avoid having any sexual experiences prior to marriage). I would emphasis that having a child by yourself before you are mentally and financially prepared is a very bad idea. Abortions are something to be avoided, and I would teach them about birth control and emphasis that an abortion is unlikely if they are careful. guess the real difference between us is that I'm not nearly so judgmental. Which is hilarious, since I do believe the bible says something to the effect of "judge not lest ye be judged yourself." Oh well. No one ever said fundies were educated enough to know their own damn holy book. Or tolerant.

No. I think Newt Ging is setting that example. His latest book: "You Too Can Have Three Wives with Two Mistresses". Then there's Rudy G. and a host of others. Can't wait to see how many neo-con names appear in the DC Madam's list. We already know that Duke Cunningham is on there.
What a group of self-righteous hypocrites this bunch of pretend republicans turned out to be. Maybe Rush Limbaugh can teach the children to say no to drugs.
Did we mention the Bill O love affair scandal?

1, 2, and 3 are not just okay but they are typically practiced by many people in the U.S. and the rest of the world. You should really try #3. It's really fun.
Maybe you wouldn't be such a bitter old fart if you've tried #3 at least once.
Furthermore, you really should try to get out more. See the world. It must be rough being stuck in a red state.
Anyway, get with the times, lady! This is 2007 not 1927.
P.S. You sound like the Neo Con's version of "FOX NEWS WATCHER" here. Have you two met by any chance? I really like his questions. He seems like a cool dude.
