Just an Add On

I don't think I made it clear in my last post, but abortion is not the solution. Nobody thinks abortion is a solution or a good thing or the right choice. Even my most rabid, feminist, bra burning aquaintances do not believe abortion is right/ good/ the answer. Unfortunately, it has become a "fall back" and a hot button topic. My whole point is that we can all make abortion completely unnecessary through one very simple and painless step. Educating our children about sex. Not "don't do it until you are married" or "sex is bad unless you are trying to spawn more children".

I'm not going to spout off statistics in this post because quite frankly I have a horrible headache and don't feel like rooting around for my notebook with all sorts of statistics in it, but we can all tell that absitence only sex education is not working. I had a young girl working for me who got pregnant her first time because she honestly believed she couldn't get preggers from the first time. These kids have no clue! They don't know what options are out there and are only thinking of the moment, not for a life time.

Sex is great and sex is fun, but sex also has a lot of baggage and can kill.

And one more thing I'd like to add to my list of to teach. . .

Guys, if you aren't mature enough to go into a store to buy condoms, then you aren't mature enough to have sex!

Bravo! And, that goes for girls too....if you're not mature enough to understand what can happen, keep your legs crossed.

I've seen studies that show that the areas of the country where abstinence-only is THE sex education, that teen pregnancy and STD rates are the highest. Inconvenient facts that the Religious Wingnuts don't like to talk about.
