As the World Turns - MESSAGE BOARDS

Jan is having the same problem that I'm having, having to deal with the fact that our children are their own people, that we raised them to be different and celebrate whats different about themselves and yet when they did I was devastated-"what do you mean you have a different opinion than me !!" I scream!! " I raised you better!!" Its hard.

That being said I believe you should be able to kill your children up until their 21st birthday.

Im wondering why she wont answer the question about a parent having the right to force an abortion seeing she says its Janets decision because Liberty is under age. You cant have it both ways

%( *Sigh* I think Janet had every right to express how she feels to Liberty, but she had no right to throw out what Liberty was thinking, feeling, or even going through. Like even right now, she isn't giving her the real support she needs, she's just trying to get Liberty to give up the child to her and Jack so they can have their little happy disfunction in her face. She wanted to abort, I disagree with abortion 100%, but if that was my daughter, and she truly felt in her heart that she couldn't handle this and it was the only decision she wanted to make after putting into thought all of her other options, then as a mother of a little girl (who yet has to experience a full view of the world, as she is only 4)I would have no choice but to respect how my sweet little angel feels, and be there with complete support to let her know that no MATTER WHAT, I will always be there without judgement. I mean as much as I can.

**Illinois**

Oakdale, IL., where Liberty currently lives.

Enough said, it's her body, it's her decision, not Janet's.
Since everyone wants to waste board space posting the development of a fetus, I thought I'd waste a little space of my own with the only facts that really matter. That it is Liberty's CHOICE!!

******SPOILER******************



Well Liberty has a miscarriage this week. So no abortion.

To answer the question, if a parent forces the kid to have an abortion, they should be shot. I do think it is the parents who should have the say so, not the kids. Abortion should not be legal, unless it is truly life treating are rape.

Hello Goodbye I wanted to applaud you for your post and as to your spoiler imo no sweat if you check this site for spoilers Low and behold It's there. so again don't worry about it!! I hope they really explore this imo miscarriages are heartbreaking. Im hoping it will make Liberty realize how precious her unborn child was!! and hopefully she will realize mow that sex ixsn't a game and it does have consequences(even if some want to sweep them under the rug!! imo

To everyone else I respectfully agree to disagree and im thankful this is a s/l and not real!!

I believe that I was the first one to bring up the spoiler issue, there are sites for that or you should warn someone that you are about to tell something that has not happened yet....if Liberty does indeed have a miscarriage, then I want to see it before I read about it and as Tammer says that is a big no no in the guidelines. Guess I am just funny that way. Can tell you that there was one large blow up on the Guiding Light thread when the person told all of us that Alan died before we saw it....no one on that thread thought that it was no big deal that it was not termed a spoiler..

Spaceroy and Tammer, I agree about wanting our kids to be their own people, it is very hard sometime tho isn't it? Janet needs to take a parenting class somewhere, she is sure enough going to lose Liberty for good because she is just not capable of shutting up and listening to her daughter.....that is just sad to me!
