<< Birth control beats abortions so hand it out and educate kids. >> Great idea. But, sex is a difficult subject to deal with. Look at the Arab countries. They freely admit that they keep their women covered up because Arab men cannot control their sexual urges. That is wacko! I just pity the poor camels. <g> << Why not? Because the right wing prudes are afraid it might encourage sex. >> I agree with you. That is a head in sand mentality. No system is perfect. EVER! Some parents are good. Many parents are bad. Teenagers need to be protected against ignorance. Millions of teenagers will have sex, no matter what anyone does or says. We can either put our heads in the sand, and then have to support millions of extra unwanted or abused kids, and have millions more abortions, or, as you said: "So share knowledge not ignorance and repression. You'll save lives and cut down on abortions. " << Kind of like telling the marijuana supports terrorists. >> Well.... it does. Terrorists raise a lot of money thru drug sales. Who did you think sold the drugs, McDonalds? << Also nothing wrong with waiting until you're married to have sex but most kids dont and never will. >> Show me a teenager willing to wait until married before having sex, and I'll show you a teenager who humps fire hydrants when nobody is looking.
