STOP! You Ain't Supposed to Do That.

Have you heard of the “Tobacco 21” bill? You can read about it here. Mayor “Nanny” Bloomberg signed the bill into law on Nov. 19, 2013. Not only does the law raise the legal tobacco-purchasing age from 18 to 21 but it also includes electronic cigarettes in the ban and prohibits vendors from offering discounts on tobacco products; kind of like state-mandated price fixing. Additionally, there were some profit-seeking scum that attempted to evade taxes on tobacco sales and so deprive the state of New York of some $500 million dollars’ worth of revenue as estimated in 2009. How perverse of these vendors. If people want to kill themselves by using tobacco, shouldn’t the state be able to profit from those actions? It seems logical to me. Given the state’s concern for our health, one wonders what the state will do if all New Yorkers heed such advice and give up tobacco.  What will the state tax next to continue to fund its profligate appetite for our money?

Moving right along, we already know that 18-year olds are prohibited from purchasing alcohol and firearms…and nobody in NYC can go into an eating establishment and order a super-sized-sugary drink…that makes perfect sense, right? Okay, admittedly we are not so far out yet that the courts could find agreement with Nanny Bloomberg on the large soda ban but you can bet that, with their foot in the door, they, that is, those who wish to control every aspect of our lives, will not go away until they are successful in the effort to control our food intake.

On the other hand, any child can walk down to the public school nurse’s office any school day of the week and get the morning-after pill to end the possibility of a new life within, right? The girl’s parents don’t even have to be the wiser because that kind of decision is strictly personal and the young child can decide on her own whether to snuff out that new life. I mean, it’s not like she was purchasing tobacco or an 18-oz soda pop. Geez.

Believe it or not, and contrary to what the Main Stream Media might want you to believe, abortion still raises eyebrows amongst some principled people in the U.S. Taking that a step further, teenage abortion without parental consent seems to exist as a good idea only in the minds of liberal bureaucrats and radical feminists.

I think I see the answer and this should make all sides happy. Let’s just make it unlawful for those under 18, or 21 if you're feeling brave, to participate in any form of sexual activity. We’ve outlawed tobacco and alcohol for under-21-ers because such substances kill. Presumably, drinking large soda pops will make one obese and eventually cause poor health possibly leading to death, thus the drive to make large soda-pops illegal. If sexual activity can lead to teen pregnancy which, at the chorus of cheers from Planned Parenthood and the radical feminist element in this country, is grounds for easy abortion…isn’t abortion the taking of a life and shouldn’t that concern us all? Doesn’t abortion end the life of a pre-born child? Doesn’t abortion sometimes go terribly wrong, a double-speak whopper if ever I heard one since I would be hard-pressed to think of any abortion that went right, and end in the loss of the life of the pregnant teenager/woman herself? Have we already forgotten Philadelphia’s own Dr. Kermit Gosnell and his house of horror? Many abortion activists would like it so.

So, whatta ya say? Do you agree with my logic? Shouldn’t the state put down its foot and demand that every person under 21 stop having sex now under penalty of state-sponsored coercion (i.e., don't do that, or else)?
