he's saying give them education and knowledge to practice safe sex so they don't get PREGNANT and aren't forced to make a decision whether to have a baby or not have a baby.
and yes, not giving them the tools to make an informed decision and then trying to force them to have a child because they make a mistake IS punishing them with a baby...
Actually this is pretty much our interpretation of what he said.
We just don't see babies as punishment regardless if their conception was planned or not (but in your case we'll make an exception).

Are you saying that you would want your daughter or daughters burdened with a baby before she graduates high school, and that you would be fine with then getting a sexually transmitted disease?
You know, if a fundie were to call STD's "a punishment" y'all would be spitting blood out of sheer rage.again you're making something out of nothing because you can't debate the issues.
Have you never heard a parent say "you're my punishment for giving my paretns a hard time"? I've said it myself.
and to a young girl, who isn't ready emotionally, financially or physically to have a child...a baby CAN feel like a punishment.
why do you ignore that he included STDs in that statement and only focus on the baby part? to an immature person a baby IS a punishment for messing up and making a bad decision because they either live with the decision to terminate or they have the baby and raise it, struggling as a teen parent or the have it and give it up for adoption and wonder whether the baby is healthy and happy.
see...all three choices are torture for smeone too young to be in that situation.
And what makes you think a baby at 27 doesn't require sacrifice.Way to twist the argument. Anyone with half a brain gets it though. A woman having a baby at 17 means that she is going to sacrifice so much of life that would normally be available to her in the time between graduation from high school and eventually marrying, settling down and having a family. That's what Obama meant but his words are deliberately twisted by the propagandists.
And what makes you think a baby at 27 doesn't require sacrifice.
Alas, Mr. Articulate, ain't. There is a tremendous gulf between the words "punish" and "sacrifice". We punish bad things, we sacrifice for good things. No one could ever sacrifice for a bad thing.
It was a dumb thing for him to say.
I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it to mean babies are punishment. Obviously, he's got two of his own.
I love it when Obama says stupid things,.
You know, if a fundie were to call STD's "a punishment" y'all would be spitting blood out of sheer rage.
In fact, y'all did go apeshit when a select few evangelicals called AIDS a punishment.
It's a good thing for Obama he isn't a Christian.
Still, babies aren't punishment. They're hard work--and I suppose to liberals THAT could be construed as punishment.
All this shows is that once again Little O's supporters have to cover for him because while he might be clean he's not nearly as articulate as his lesser choice of VP makes him out to be.

are you seriously so fucking retarded that you don't see the difference between a right winger saying AIDS is GOD's punishment on gays and someone saying he doesn't want his children punished with an STD because he's kept them ignorant?
WOW... just with I think a con can't be more dense one comes out and surprises me.
I don't. It's a biological function. I've got no problem with kids learning about biological functions as part of biology class.Do you not see how ignorant a man is who thinks someone else should teach HIS kid sex ed ?
