back to reality......

ok, so my frist filibuster mania came full circle today....when in our public health duties we had a 13 year-old come in with a possible std/pregnancy...without her mother......and i had mixed feeling about this for about 10 seconds.......better she seek treatment/confirmation on her own at her age...or risk far worse to be undiagnosed/unconfirmed for the foreseeable future........13 year olds have always had sex......we simply married them off to old codgers at age 12 to make sure that their offspring were legit.......as the wise teacher in ecclessiates said...there is nothing new under the sun....except for our collective horror in 2005 with a 13 year old having unprotected sex.....i have edited the worst of what i overheard.....public health walls are notoriously thin........and yet i wondered.....where is her partner.....the chump...leaving her to go this alone.....and where are her parents...that they have no clue........and what kind of fool is she to be having sex with someone who has obviously been elsewhere quite recently.......i think the grossest thing i have heard of late is the query....what about this wart?........yuch...........and i bring this up with regards to the frist filibuster because the selection of judges could render our services to underage girls illegal.......and make their collective seeking of diagnosis/medication/counseling/referral unavailable.....so will these 13 year olds simply die from their disease....or avoid pregnancy confirmation until well after possibility of helpful prenatal care............or long after legal termination options.......13 years old....when i was 13......well.....that was another age indeed................the loyal opposition needs the filibuster to allow time for cooler heads to prevail with regards to judge nominations.............and as i have said previously....one never knows when one will convert from majority to loyal opposition......
