AFA - American Family Association - Activism
I don't know if this link will work but this is the reason I am against the public teaching my child sex education. I don't believe it matters which way we vote or believe. There is a right way, and a wrong way to do all things and this is definately the wrong way to teach a child about sex. It is a planned parenthood video called "take care down there". It tells the kids what to do AFTER they get an std, it promotes casual sex, group sex and homosexuality. And really, what is wrong with abstinence. I think it is a bit crazy to have to feel stupid for supporting something that statistics prove is the best choice. Experience with sexual behavior does not make for better marriages. It causes problems in marriages such as jealousy, stds, hpv, etc. In fact lots of fertility issues are caused by having sex with multiple partners.
i realize I have strayed from the op's topic. I do feel sorry for any 17 year old that ends up pregnant. As a parent of 3 grown sons, and 16 and 7 year old daughters I have pretty much experience with bad choices kids make. I find I have become much less judgemental of parents because I realize my kids may do things that will not make me "look" like a good parent. I always say this: "my job is to teach my children right from wrong and then realize they will go on and make their own mistakes" At least when one of my children make a bad choice I know they did it knowing it they were doing wrong. That is my job as a parent. What they choose to do I cannot control. But I still love them even when they make bad choices and I have learned that good things can come of bad choices. I pray that is what can be said about that 17 year old girl that is pregnant.
