SB, you have apparently enrolled in the NP course of demanding a question be answered the way YOU want it answered. Surely there are better sources of higher education out there.

The question posed actually (if you're referring to the one asked of Partagas), was if one's daughter became pregnant as the result of rape, would they 'see her through' that pregnancy. I do agree that Partagas answered in an honest, thoughtful way, as to how he believes he his wife and daughter would proceed.

Now, you and others are re-wording both the question and answer suit your own feelings; to insinuate that a parent would FORCE the daughter to carry to term whether she wanted to or not. They would leave her no choice but to have the child. That implied was neither the question posed, nor was it the answer.

Up to that point, the discussion had been mainly about the legality/illegality of the abortion procedure. The 'woman's choice'. Then, a very personal question was asked and answered and I'm hoping that it isn't that you cannot accept that a preconcieved family decision was presented to you in a way that you yourself might handle the same situation.

Thanks,
Apple
