Trump Adminstration Pushes Abstinence Only Sex Education

[Whateverist]

I like the idea of teaching and encouraging abstinence to teenage kids as the only 100% safe option against both pregnancy and STD's. But I still think contraceptives should be tought so that the kids know what they are and how they work, etc. I'm pretty sure even when I was in Catholic grade school, we were taught in health class about all the different contraceptives and how they work. It doesn't mean the kids are being encouraged to have sex, it's just a regular part of learning about sexuality and health.

Okay but what about in yoga class.  Would you be against teaching girls positions which do not keep the legs closed?

Yeah, you can't really stop kids from having sex if that's what they want to do. We can encourage them in the abstinence direction and explain why it's the better option and try to make a positive influence... But at the end of the day, the choice to hold off on sex has to come from within. I try not to forget what it's like to be a teenager.

Ugh. I cannot even fathom 10 year olds having sex. That is so disturbing.

I think the idea is to catch them before they start.

Or .. if just after they start, put the hose on them until they separate.
