I am a Christian as most people who have seen my answers know,
but I can take God out of the argument and STILL have a solid argument AGAINST this one.

Ok, so for one and this is VERY important,
it is ILLEGAL that means AGAINST THE LAW for kids this age to be having sex, the age of consent differs in different states but in most it is either 16 or 18 and I think in Kentucky it MIGHT be 14, but I'm not sure.
IN MAIN THE LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT IS 16 NO MIDDLE SCHOOL PERSON IS 16 (unless they were held back an awful lot , but the majority)
THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ACT
http://www.coolnurse.com/consent.htm


So if it is ILLEGAL(AGAINST THE LAW) for people of this age to consent to having sex then it should be (and I'm sure it is) ILLEGAL (AGAINST THE LAW) to give them birth control to keep them from having babies (a natural thing caused ONLY by having sex- and once in the bible by God himself)

HOW CAN WE CONDONE by the giving of birth control AN ILLEGAL ACT???????

so they are allowed to get birth control but not to have sex?

Ok, I would prefer them not to have sex at it, it is emotionally damaging and physicaly and mentaly and legaly damaging and expencive.
If your not going to be able to live with the consequences
...
DONT DO IT

the consequences are, you could get pregnent and you could get an STD and you could get left by the guy and emotionaly scarred.

I would prefer to handing out birth control, HUGE PROGRAMS where kids are taught about the remifications and about what happens and all about sex.
And told, that if they can't live with the consequences, they shouldn't have sex. No religion needs to be used.

if its wrong for kids to be having sex why don't we tell them about it, if the parents won't tell them then the schools or the government tells them, but you tax payers are paying for birth control to mess up the kids hormones! at such a young age.
I don't think it's good for 11 year olds to be out having unsafe sex, but I think we should at least stall them till their 16 (legal age in most states)
and then give them condoms not hormone altering drugs.
remember they are hanging out DRUGS to minors withOUT their parents permission.
The parents permit their child to go get the sex ed info but once they permit that they are allowed to give birth control out without asking the parents.

Whether or not it is illegal, the reality is that 11 YEAR OLDS ARE HAVING SEX. If you don't like it well too bad. Girls are hitting puberty at a younger age. 30 years ago average start of a girl's menstrual cycle was 13, now it is about 9 years old. If the PARENTS aren't talking to their kids about sex, they will get their information from friends. A parent is not around when the are having sex, so should the people wait until the 10 or 11 year old becomes PREGNANT to do something since it seems there are many parents who are burying their heads in the sand and saying, " no, not my kid"
Reality is that anywhere from 13-27% of 11-13 year olds have had sex.
So, shall we build more prisons or juvie halls to put them in jail because they are sexually active?
Protect the kids, if you have one that you don't want getting the pill, don't give permission for the child to go to the clinic. Simple as that. If the girl comes home knocked up, then that parent will be a grandparent that will have to look after the child or put it up for adoption into an already overburdened system.
Being righteously indignant does not solve the problem.

The law of NATURE says that once you hit puberty - you're gonna wanna do it, regardless of what the civil code says, the penal code, or Biblical code.

Birth control is preferable to 12, 13, 14 and 15 year olds giving birth no matter what you believe.

The Legality:
Twenty-five states permit minors to consent to contraceptive services in one or more circumstances. The vast majority allow a married minor to receive contraceptive services. Three states allow minors to consent to contraceptive services if a physician determines that the minor would face a health hazard otherwise. A few states allow a minor who is a parent or has ever been pregnant to consent to services. Ten states allow a minor to consent if the minor meets other various requirements, including being a high school graduate, reaching a certain age, demonstrating maturity, or receiving a referral from a specified professional, such as a physician or member of the clergy.

Four states have no explicit policy on whether or not minors may consent to contraceptive services. Even when a state has no clear policy or law, physicians may decide to provide medical care to a mature minor without parental consent, particularly if the state allows a minor to consent to other related health services.

that is a criminal offense to force over the speed decrease, yet that would not provide up human beings from rushing. that is a criminal offense to thieve, yet that would not provide up human beings. in basic terms because there's a regulation for it, would not propose human beings will continually abide by technique of that regulation. I agree that an 11 365 days previous is a few distance too youthful to be having sex, yet does that mean there are not circumstances the position 11 365 days-olds are having sex? obviously no longer. although, in basic terms handing out some free packs of birth control received't sparkling up any issues both. There needs to be finished and precise teaching classes- no longer scare strategies, no longer lies, no longer religiously slanted pamphlets.

But what about the kids who are going to do it anyway? Shouldn't there be a way to prevent pregnancy/STD's? Of course there will always be two sides to this. But not everyone thinks the same, and there will always be underage kids having sex. So I say, there should be a method of birth control available to them. And besides, as far as I know, kids can walk right into a store and buy condoms. I'm sure you are referring more so to the pill etc., but condoms are just another form.

yes it is wrong for kids these ages to be having sex..but even though i don't condone the actions of giving them birth control at a young age..but you have to look at it as if they are having sex don't you want them to have safe sex?.After all how is an 11 year old supposed to take care of a baby? You have to face it there are kids that young out there having sex and getting pregnant.. by giving them birth control it isnt condoning what they do and telling them to go have sex..its telling them that if your going to do it be safe about it and help them prevent pregnancy at a young age..There are too many teen mothers and pre-teen mothers out there and alot of it is because most of them are low income or do not have access afordable birth control methods..

It is insane isn't it? What kind of a message do we give our kids? Here's a law, i.e., statutory rape, but you can ignore it...just don't tell your parents.

BTW, did you hear that Maine has just dropped the age where schools can give birth control pills/patches to 11?!?! Parents have to sign consents for schools to give their kids Tylenol, for crying out loud, but schools can give an 11 y/o birth control without telling them.

Do you have to lose all common sense to become a politician?

I think your confusing the act of promoting safe sex, with promoting sex in general.

Your naive to think that these kids aren't already having sex. Teaching abstenance doesn't work !

Anyone who has kids knows that anytime you tell them they can't do something, the more likely they will do it anyway.

I disagree with the disregard for parental consent however...
