Should you use it or not? When should you use it? Should you teach your kids about it? Do you really think that just teaching abstinance is going to keep horney teens from doing the horozontal mombo? Please explain your answers.
I'm of the openion that birth control is a wonderfull thing. I'm on the pill right now *lol*. I would defanently teach my kids about it. I'd much rather them know about it than not and have them getting pregnant. If more young people knew about birth control, there'd be fewer abortions.

Birth control is personal choice between two people and that is how it should remain. Yes I've used it and I am not ashamed that I have. One should use it to help cut the risk of STDs and to keep pregnancy at bay until they are ready for it. And yes, when children are old enough to understand all the biological functioning in conjunction with birth control they are old enough to know about it. You can teach abstinence and that in itself is not a bad thing if it is your choice not anyone elses; however, people will have sexual relations when they wish so not telling teens about birth control could make the difference in preventing a pregnancy neither partner is ready for.

Well, condoms are ok, but pills aren't, as they are an unnatural change to your body. Kids are taught birth control as soon as they reach puberty (parents sometimes discuss this sooner), tho the emphasis is more on the facts of reproduction. The feeling is that, if kids know how it's done and for what purpose, the mystery is gone and it's not as "cool". Safe sex is promoted for those who choose not to abstain. Sex before marriage is discouraged, but marriage is a looser term than the official one. Just teaching abstinence does nothing. One must truly educate a teen on the workings of sex and it's purpose for reproduction for the teen to make an educated choice about their bodies.

It's less a stance but more of a stamp it out and tread it into the ground sort of thing.
Apparently the teens get round the abstinence silver ring thing thing by doing oral...where there's a will there's a way, it's shocking isn't it!
Proper sex education is essential for all young people and easier access to the rubber condom thing!..the silver ring thing does not stop teen pregnancies or std's.

My religion's stance is that you absolutely, positively should use it unless you are prepared to live with the consequences. And if you do use it, and it doesn't work, you should still be prepared to cowboy up and deal with the consequences.
Not teaching children about birth control is criminal, and allowing children who's bodies are undergoing hormonal and peer pressure to experiment to dwell in ignorance about what is going on with their own bodies, how to protect themselves, and what the consequences of their actions might be should carry with it charges of gross negligence.
Any adult who blocks that flow of information, and it results in an unwanted pregnancy is more responsible for any abortions or misfortune that come from that ignorance than the kids they kept the information from. Those who oppose both abortion and sex education should keep that in mind.

One place you might look for an answer to this question is the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. A lot of people believe their churchs are against reproductive freedom, and are just wrong. The particular leader of their particular church might preach a certain way, but most religions are much vaguer. RCRC has statements from all major religions describing their stances.

My religion says to use birth control unless you're trying to get pregnant, and to use condoms to help prevent STDs and to use abstinance when even condoms aren't good enough for whatever reason. My religion is ok with porn too.

Since life begins at conception, we don't use birth control that destroys the egg once it's conceived. However, birth control can be used as long as it doesn't end a life.

teaching birth control in schools will fix a lot more problems than teaching God in schools.

By practising birth control, you are spitting in Jesus's face. He created the earth and placed you here to procreate. It is a sin of terrible magnitude and you will burn in hell.

And it harm none, do what you will.
All you have do do is figure out if you're harming anyone by not being on birth control or by being on birth control. It's up to you.
