Alright. I don't quite understand the whole abstinence thing (being far more liberal than most of you in here). What exactly is it that we are accomplishing by teaching abstinence only? I mean, to say that these kids are too young too make these choices (and yes, I feel that to engage in or to abstain from sex is a choice to which individuals should be entitled) is really being ignorant of the world outside of your little christian bubble. People are married and starting families as young as 13 in other societies (India sprining to mind off the top of my head). Are you implying that the youth of America are just too bloody stupid to make a single life choice such as wether or not to have sex? Are they so far behind the rest of the world in basic life skills that they cannot be trusted to deal with this one decision, when their equivalents elsewhere are running households of thier own?
Yes, I agree that abstinence is a valid and logical choice to make. It's benefits and downfalls should be presented to kids. But to have sex is an equally valid choice.
There is no such thing as too much information. To decide to keep our youth in ignorance of the realities (espcially in light of the scarry ass shit out there) is the most irresponsible choice that could be made here.
