What kind of sense does that make? If kids were properly educated about birth control and sexual health the teen birth rate would go down.
Just because you teach kids about birth control and sex, doesn't mean that you are telling them its ok. Let's face it, kids are going to go and have sex either way. At least they should have the righ information.
Yes, it should be the parents resposibility to impart this information, but many parents are not able to bring themselves to face facts and talk to their kids.

Bluffmike, do you have anything to back that "statement" up?

So, you really believe that teaching kids, (I'm talking 12-18) about contraceptives will increase the teen birth rate? That is an asinine statement. And if you read enough questions here, you will see that there are many, many young girls who are pregnant, and/or have no idea how contraceptive work. Get a clue! Girls who are only 12-13.

History has shown time and again that increased use of birth control does not lead to a decrease in abortion, but the opposite. Abstinence is really the only way to reduce teen pregnancies. Besides, birth control ruins relationships.
The 'they are going to do it anyway' argument is not true, and it's poor logic as well. Apply that argument to some other circumstances and you will see how ridiculous it is. Are you going to facilitate and condone everything your kids want to do like that?

Conservatives believe that abortion is tantamount to murder.
On the unrelated topic of birth control/sex education, conservatives believe that it should be introduced later (say as opposed to kindergarten or 1st grade). They also think that abstinence should be taught in conjunction with birth control / sex education.
Finally, when kids are given condoms as part of birth control education, sexual activity is being endorsed.

It doesn't make sense. You're trying to apply common sense and intelligence to a position that has neither.
These people seem to think that if you educate teens about sex, they'll run right out and have sex, but if you keep them ignorant about it, well, the thought won't even cross their minds. This is utterly ridiculous, of course, and has not been the case since humans showed up on the planet--but you can't use facts with these people.

in case you bothered to make sure your article, it shows that, interior the seek to correctly known a individual starts at thought, there are unintended technical effects that could effect using beginning administration in this occasion. they have not been addressed. This exchange into no longer meant to outlaw beginning administration. Your having to quote this as "evidence" of Conservatives that "shop attempting" to outlaw beginning administration is a attain. If it have been extra mainstream as you prefer to have faith, there could be extra overt evidence. Why isn't there? exciting which you prefer to apply THIS over your "multiple different examples". Why is that? there is is a keen to bounce to this end, ruled via concern fairly than actuality. what number articles incorrectly jumped to that end over the present birth control flap concerning Sandra Fluke on my own? Does this mean there are not individuals that prefer to prohibit beginning administration? probable, yet they do no longer look to be the mainstream Conservative questioning.

The idea is that kids shouldn't have sex at all until marriage, and should be made to fear any kind of sex that isn't what the Religious Right wants them to have. They think bc education is only encouragement.

When I was 17 I had to go through so much red tape to get birth control(9 years ago). I think birth control should be free to people under 21.

The Conservative right is made up of many Bible thumpers who feel that sex is something that should not be thought about or discussed until marriage. I think that they feel it is their duty to "protect" the youth of America from sex, sexual thoughts, and sexual images. They need a new hobby.

Now try telling them that!
The Europeans mostly have very good sex ed, and they don't have the teen pregnancy rate we have, nor do they have the STD problem we have.
