  • Have your Cake and Eat it Too

    Of the many problems plaguing America, this is one which I have the least sympathy and harshest judgement towards America. Abortion? Teen sex? Abstinence? Viagra? You decriminalized all sex outside of marriage. You made all sex a public choice. You virtually removed all moral, religious, and ethical standards surrounding sex, except consent. ...

  • Re: Your Beautiful Study.

    Spiker, seriously I would like to thank you. You have given me one of the better reads that I have had in a while. I intend to respond to your other thread, but I don't know that I can get there tonight or tomorrow. Yet for now this study is definitely worth highlighting and walking through together. The article you quote isn't about changing ...

  • RE: Birth control for middle-schoolers? And The “Feminist Pr

  • Birth Control for 12 year olds...

    Here’s a question: If a 12-year-old gets a prescription for the pill so she can have sex with her 17-year-old boyfriend, is the school contributing to statutory rape? No one uses birth control to have sex. It's used to do what the name implies: control birth. Kids are going to have sex whether you like it or not, pill or no pill. Given that, ...

  • Re: Birth Control in Schools

    To begin, I think that the point made by Jannipur about how educating girls to say no to sex is a sexist behavior is well made. I also find that Antistokes' argument about other legitimate uses of the pill is too often forgotten in these sorts of debates. That your daughter goes on the pill doesn't mean that she's having sex. That said, I think ...

  • Abortion vs Birth-Control

    Look at Europe. The abortion and out-of-wedlock or teenage pregnancies are a fraction from those in America. All of which in countries that have National Healthcare with a focus on prevention, sound and responsible sex-education and enlightened birth-control attitudes. It's about time we wise up and get with the program too.
