You know Scott, your post was moving in its reality--as well as your passion on the subject. Apart from the obvious loss of life, what hit me is how one short-term easy-way-out decision will haunt her for the rest of her life.
What would motivate such an action? I’m still trying to figure that out. 17 year old brains don’t work right; she had to have been scared out of her mind; and she must have though that she had no other choice. Hence, the 17 year old brain wasn’t working right.
I don’t know if I told you guys, but back when I took that sex-ed class at Wheaton, they brought in a guest speaker that had not one, but two abortions. She later got her life together, got married, and had (and subsequently kept) 2 children. The entire class was pretty dumbfounded; most of us didn’t say anything--but one guy (who’s name I forget) just ripped into her. [And I can see the guy’s face; one class above me; married; red beard; always wore a leather jacket until Mark Kang stole it. He later recovered the jacket after Mark Kang broke into the guy’s house. His wife startled the perpetrating Mark Kang, who then dropped the keys (found in this guy’s stolen leather jacket) and fled. Somehow, this guy got his stolen jacket back from Mark Kang, yet the perp didn’t get kicked out of Wheaon? I honestly wonder if Mark Kang was the one that stole my portable CD player, back when portable CD players cost a lot of money. But I digress.] In any event, I don’t have pity on the 17 year old--as she will have to live with the consequences of her actions for the rest of her life. Yet, I feel sorry for the 17 year old, that will have to live with the consequences of her actions for the rest of her life.
