Nobody is forcing her or you to use those options -

That is what I don't understand. Why do you feel "forced" in any way because that option is available.
Cigarettes kill millions of people - do you feel like they are forced on you?
Alcohol kills millions of people in one way or another - do you complain that that is forced on you?
Drugs kill millions of people - do you feel that is forced on you?
You have the choice of educating your daughter and letting her know that you do not believe that is an option in your lives - nobody is forcing you to make that choice... it is just like the other things I mentioned above, they are available in this world, but they are not options for me and my family and they are not forced on me because they exist.

Given the two options, I definitely

There are options out there....(sm)
but a lot of it depends on where you live. I live in TN. TN had the grand idea that they didn't want the govt controling medicaid here, so TN just took the funds and set up their own program. Since that time they've been dropping people like hot cakes simply because of mismanagement of funds by the state, and at this point they are just about bankrupt. So, at this point if you live here you can't get regular medicaid, and about half of the population who would normally qualify for it can't get TennCare coverage either. There are some other programs out there, but not many, and a lot of people don't have the resources to find them.
Both options stink, but if I have to vote
I'd vote a)---the lesser of two evils.
Distressed Homeowners Get New Options
President Barack Obama's plan to aid troubled homeowners, set to be unveiled Wednesday, will include efforts to cut monthly mortgage payments, allow more borrowers to refinance their loans and give bankruptcy judges greater power to modify mortgages, according to people familiar with the proposal.
$50,000,000,000.00 Taxpayer funds to modify mortgages
303,824,640.00 US Citizens
$164.57 Cost per citizen

Only if I felt that all available options had been considered and rejected...sm
How long has the US had nuclear weapons? More than 60 years. Iran, if they have any capability, it is very limited. Any serious threat or attack by them would only result in their ultimate annihilation. However extremist they may be, they know that.
You have other options and yelling wont do any good
I have been around longer than most and frankly, my dear, I could care less about what one "perceives" the government to be doing with "our" money. We have funded so much crap in these states, 1 more does not faze me in the least. Get off your soap box, get back down to earth, better start thinking about how you (or you and your family) are going to raise that $10,000 apiece for the buyout when your last president left. If it does not affect me and my immediate family, I could care less.
m-eo-w . . no one forcing you
to stay on the sinking ship.
I never said anyone was. Is anyone forcing you? tsk
tsk, tsk. How UNAMERICAN!
I'm not forcing anything
It is impossible to "force" your faith on anyone. Because if it is forced than it is not genuine. But I don't sit here and call people names about it! I asked a serious question and none of you who don't believe have answered me. Which makes me wonder?
I know that not everyone in this world is going to believe in Jesus. That is heart wrenching to me. See you look at us from the outside, and all you see are "brainwashed cliques" but come inside and you will see people heartbroken for this world. You will see people fall down on their knees for those of you who have used the free will GOD has given you to turn away from him.
Yeah I get a little heated sometimes when people say RUDE things about my Savior. But that would be the same as me talking badly about one of your loved ones. You wouldn't just sit idly by and let me. Well it really upsets me to no end when people want to bash the person who died for me. And He did. And he's coming back. And those who deny Him are going to have a lot to answer for.
Faith is a gift from God for those who earnestly seek him. Without it you cannot even begin to comprehend Him.
He's not forcing anybody to do it -
He is offering a tax credit of $4000 for college if you do it. Wouldn't your children be the ones to benefit from that at the same time as the community?
There is no one forcing you to get an abortion. nm

Nobody's forcing their values on you.
Nobody's making you to become gay. Nobody is forcing an abortion on you. Nobody is compelling you to join their church. Nobody insists you drive a Honda. I won't tell you what books to read. You can listen to any music you like. Nobody's requiring you to do anything, not even give your permission. If you think what you have is diminished by someone else having it as well, that's rather.... infantile.
I don't see anyone forcing you to open posts...?
did i miss something?
there is no one forcing you to get pregnant when u dont want to be.

Wouldn't that be forcing YOUR view?

Hypocrite! You talk about pro-lifers forcing their
beliefs on you, but you do the same to us. Sure, a woman can choose to murder her baby or not. The reality is abortion clinics are full of young girls --- NOT WOMEN! Young girls who didn't have sense enough to use a condom or get free BCPs from a clinic. Young girls who thought it made them women just to have sex with a guy. Young girls who are faced with a huge life altering decision and are nowhere near emotionally, chronologically or intellectually prepared to make it.
My daughter, when she becomes a teenager, has an option available to her that I do not want her to have. But you have forced your beliefs on me.
Hmmmm.... so homosexuals AREN'T forcing their
