So, alinev,
Let’s hear a solution from you. Or, did you just drop in to be self righteous? I used to believe that if all the strong women, who were so passionate on both sides, would get together, crisis pregnancy could come to an end. The problem is that in my experience there is one side that is so caught up in the whole “sex” issue that they can’t get past it to solve anything. Abstinence only is their battle cry. There’s one thread here where a poster talks about “teaching masturbation” being wrong. My response: You mean it needs to be taught? What if people learn they’ve been doing it wrong all this time????
I started at home. No subject was taboo for discussion. My daughters knew that when they decided to become sexually involved that they had options, many options, for birth control. They knew that it was up to them to protect themselves. Their boyfriends were expected to wear condoms in addition to that. Hey, so far, so good. But what about those kids who have parents who leave it to a nice dinner with dad and a virginity ring (or whatever they’re called)? What about those kids who have parents who don’t let them take a comprehensive sex ed class because they’ve taught their kids to be “pure”? What about those girls who are victims of rape or worse?
I’d love to hear some answers, alinev….you first, because I’m tired.
