http://jlptalk.com Jesse interviews Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America (http://studentsforlife.org). 18-year-old high school senior Maddi Runkles discovered she was pregnant out-of-wedlock; she told her father who was on the board of her small private Christian school Heritage Academy in Maryland. The school decided she should finish school at home because she had premarital sex, violating the code of conduct, but the family appealed the decision; the school allowed her to come back to school but disallowed her to walk with her 14 classmates at graduation. They faced judgment and rumors from other students and their mothers. Her father, Scott Runkles, quit the board and pulled Maddi and her 9th grade brother from the school, to transfer him to another Christian school — her father said, “It’s ruined her senior year.” Maddi contacted pro-life groups and individuals like Abby Johnson and Students for Life, and even Susan B. Anthony List and Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, many of whom spoke out in her support and condemned the school’s rightful decision, even talking to the liberal media including Washington Post and New York Times who are always seeking to cast Christian institutions in negative light. Maddi does not plan to marry the father of her child even though her father says he is involved — Kristan Hawkins says the baby daddy is not a Christian. But if they care about what's right, and about the child, they should get married rather than have her son out-of-wedlock. Jesse says the problem is that men are weak, and don't have the courage to stand up to their wives and children when they are immoral, and guide them in the right way. She should accept her punishment whatever it might be, and know that she is wrong. (Originally aired Thursday, June 8, Hour 1.
