I was listening to a talk show a few months ago. The talk show host was talking about taking responsibility and rather proudly stated that when he got his girlfriend pregnant, he knew enough to take care of things and pay for her to abort the baby. He said he knew they were too young to marry or take on the care of a baby. He emphasized that in order to grow up, you have to recognize your responsibities in life, and see to them. I was glad my children weren't listening to this garbage. I think the talk show host got his values mixed up. If he was truly a responsible person, he would not have been having an immoral relationship with a young woman he had no intention of ever marrying. A responsible person is a respectful person and he certainly didn't treat his relationship with much respect. He showed even less and more horrifying lack of respect and value when he saw to the death of the child he irresponsibly conceived with the young woman. And he was proud of his actions!
From what I have heard of him through other shows, he is married and has a family. I imagine he considers the 'first-born' he had with his wife as his first baby. That is a sad thought. He treated the whole episode with his youthful relationship as just that . . . one of those things which was over and done with . . . only it left someone wounded and another one dead. I wonder if the girl who agreed to the abortion has forgotten?
