if you don't believe that abortion is a woman's right, then why, christians will you not permit sex ed to be

Question

PROPERLY taught in schools. kids are going to do it...and having a teacher stand there and say..."just don't do it." is not cutting it.

why can there be no discussion of birth control in health classes? explain yourself.

also...if your 13 year old daughter asked to be put on the pill....would you let her?

Answer 1

Well, I am a Christian, and I do believe that abortion should be a right. I believe sex ed should be taught in schools, and yes, I would put my child on the pill.

I really wish people would stop generalizing about Christians as a whole. Not all of us are anti-abortion, anti-homosexual, etc.

We are all, believe it or not, capable of individual thought.

Answer 2

I believe that sex ed. should be taught in schools PROPERLY. It is not just christian parents who are against it but others as well saying they will teach that at home but don't, I suppose that it is the parents who need to take responsibility along with the kids. It really shouldn't be a teachers responsibility.
Yes I would let my 13 yr. old take the pill if that is what she wanted to do but I would also explain to her about STD's and get condoms for her.

Answer 3

I think abortion can be okay in cases of rape or serious health or life threats, I'm against it being used as a method of birth control.

I will absolutely let my children participate in sex-ed at school, and make sure I teach my children about sex as well, not just leave it to the teachers.

About the daughter - that depends, if she's having very painful periods, then that can be a viable option for calming them down. But I'd warn her about it - the women in my family have all had really bad emotional side effects to it.

Answer 4

actually where I'm from, the teachers teach "this is why you don't do it".

Teaching how to use birth (don't do it..but if you do, do it so you can get away with it) control will create a false sense of security in the youth (who as a group believe themselves to be too smart/good/lucky to have any bad effects) and to some extent encourage sexual activity. and what is the next step after teaching them how to use birth control? handing out condoms? if anything birth control should be taught by the parents or learned from trial and error.

if my daughter wanted to be put on the pill? depends, does she have an abnormally painful period? then yes no problem. if not then NO, i would not consent in any way to premarital sexual activity, especially as a minor.

also from my POV what is taught is the proper way to teach it

Answer 5

As a Christian & realist, I have no problem with sex ed in school--as long as its done properly. Now, it is more like an instruction & permission slip.

For those that are so despirate to have the schools do your job, would you object to the education being done from a Christian perspective? & I dont mean have a 2 minute class that just says: "just dont do it". But also learn the ramifications of your "choice". It should also be more than a bunch of kids learning "penis" instead of "peepee". Read education that does also include the benefit of abstinance.

Answer 6

I would let my daughter because I want to protect her. I asked my mom when I was in high school, and she said no. I did not ask her as a prerequisite to having sex. I was already active, and I just wanted to be safe. SHe said no, and I did it anyway. That is causing your child to take a serious risk!!!!


ALSO, I think that sex ed should tell kids not to do it til they are older, but I think that they should also inform them about the options that they have if they do decide to have sex. SO many peopel do not know where they can get condoms and birth control, so they just have unprotected sex.

Answer 7

I am a christian and I am against abortion. However I am not against se#xual ed. I will tell my children about sex and I woud let them get the education in schoold. The way we are living these days they need to know and they need to be prepare. I don't see why you say christians because they aren't all the same. As you can see I am one and I am not in favor of you just said.

Now if my daughter is 13 and asked me to be put on the pill, I would be very devastated because I would want the best for my daughter. However if her choice is to have sex, although I could try to stop her, if she is going to do it she is going to do it no matter what. So I would let her, rather that than getting preg at 13.

But I will not encourage this situation.
I mean we are christians but we aren't perfect. We struggle w/ many things but we try our best to live like Christ and do the right thing. When the time comes my daughter would have to answer God for what she did, I can't save her she has to do that herself. I can only show her the road, plant the seed.

Answer 8

No one can dictate what another person does we all have free will.If a woman has an abortion she will have to face the consequences emotionally,physically,and spiritually.And there are consequences for all we do.I don't know where you get your info from but many Christians teach sex education,but they also teach abstinence.Parents should teach their own children what they have conviction to do.Its between them and God,he is our judge,he is the one a christian lives this life for not others opinions.

Answer 9

<> The human race has been procreating by intercourse for 2 hundred,000 years. as hence of so-called "intercourse ed" it extremely is the 1st technology - in spite of each and every thing that factor - to be shocked adn even appalled on the fact intercourse finally ends up in being pregnant! The good judgment could no longer be extra undemanding. you do no longer prefer to get pregnant, abstain from intercourse. One does not might desire to take a intercourse ed classification to determine that out. <> All you're doing right it extremely is attempting to justify the evil of birth control by pointing to the evil of abortion. Abortion and synthetic birth control are unquestionably morally unacceptable on account they are the two affronts to the honour of human existence. <> the subject right it extremely is which you do no longer see how synthetic birth control constitutes an affront to the honour of human existence. additionally, you're ignoring the shown fact that Christianity teachings abstinence till marriage. Are you the manufactured from intercourse ed? you in all probability are because of the fact it is sparkling you have no longer have been given any concept what intercourse is. you notice it as considered one of those entertainment; a civil precise. I see it for what it extremely is, a Sacred Act; the Consumation of the Marital Union. till you notice intercourse in this gentle, you will in no way understand.

Answer 10

I will agree with you that it is not enough to just tell kids not to "do it". They need a whole lot more information than that, but not on how to use condoms.
Sex is not just about making sure you don't catch an STD (and, by the way, condoms don't protect against all STDs, including herpes; in fact, the most dangerous virus, the HIV virus, is small enough to pass through a condom) or get pregnant. So many young people are making poor relationship choices in high school and having sex for all the wrong reasons. Merely giving high schoolers "protection" and how to use it is a superficial band-aid for all the complexities surrounding sex. We need relationship education, lifestyle goal-setting (college, monogamy, etc.), teach kids how to communicate with their parents about their sexuality questions, and educate on why sex inside marriage (for males AS MUCH AS females) is the most fulfilling.
Honestly, which of you are prepared to explain to your 13-year-old that sorry, honey, I know followed my advice about protection, sorry your heart is broken and you have herpes for the rest of your life. I really thought you'd be "safe'!

Answer 11

I am against abortion, and, yes, against sex ed. being taught in school.

The sexual education of my child is something that I must take responsibility for. It falls in the realm of morality - and face it, public schools have no basis in morality.

If my daughter asked to be put on the pill I would say no, if my son asked for condoms I would say no.

Parents, by and large, are failing the children by allowing them to be taught by someone else - so they can say "I didn't teach my kids to behave THAT way." thereby tossing out any responsibility.

Perhaps I am a little different, I teach my children right and wrong, I teach morals, I teach our Catholic faith and (here's the shocker) I have a relationship with my children - we talk.
