Your teen daughter is pregnant. Being a calm, rational, accepting, Booj parent you encourage her to explore all of her options and offer your unconditional support. After a period of time, she comes to you and says she has decided to continue the pregnancy ... because she doesn't want to get breast cancer. When you express confusion, she directs you to http://www.abortionbreastcancer.ca
. For the linkophobic, the site uses some creative reasoning, inaccurate interpretation of data, and giant leaps to conclude that because rates of (legal, reported) abortions have gone up since the 70s, and rates of breast cancer have gone up in the same period of time, that abortions cause breast cancer.
What do you tell your daughter? While it's always "her body, her choice", is it ever ok to question the reasoning that brought your child to their decision? Do you try to educate her? What if she gets upset and says that by questioning her you are not holding true to your offer of unconditional support? How do you handle yourself, Booj?
