With all the 13 year old hormones coursing through your veins - I understand how all this debate probably sounds like someone ranting about controlling people, or as you put it "being in charge of how they live their lives". I think, reading these posts carefully will reveal people debating this issue are not "arguing for no reason", they are (on both sides) obviously emotionally involved. Someday in the future perhaps, you may have a son or daughter of your own, and - having raised him or her from birth - will have your views on all things altered quite profoundly. I express my views in this blog knowing full well they carry no weight, affect Abby and her family not in the slightest. They are simply the anonymous views of someone who, upon learning of this young girls plight, became emotionally involved.

I respect your both your opinions and point of view.

Best,
