Sorry, Frank, kids are their *own* selves, not ``yours.''  The fact
that a kid has gotten herself pregnant shows that ``you'' aren't in
control.  So you're going to force her to carry the pregnancy to term,
huh?  Quite a tyrant, aren't you!  Thank God for Planned Parenthood!  

And you're also going to ``control what they learn'' in this open
society of ours.  *Good luck*!  I suppose that *public libraries*
are on your list of ``private institutions secretly counseling''?  
(Oh, that's right, *public libraries* are public!  Worse yet!)  

(Sorry if this seems a bit inFLAMEtory, but it gets my gander up
when people talk about restricting the free flow of information!)
