My issue is actually not specifically contraception at all, it's certain attitudes that I don't care for. Sex is risky, bottom line, how you go about it is what determines your chances of problems. What erks me is people who assume that using a condom or being on the pill eliminates that risk and then if something goes wrong whine -> "but this wasn't supposed to happen". My response, "You may have reduced your risk to 1% or lower but you drew the short straw there bud". I see sex outside of marriage as having a higher risk potential, that's all, and the more risk someone takes for pleasure the less sympathy I have for them if they get burned. **btw, None of this is related to the womans blog anymore**
Do I think that teens are going to stop having sex, no, but it's still voluntarily accepted risk. So to make it clear, I don't care at all about contraception at all one way or the other. You want to be a sex maniac? Go ahead, but I don't give a damn if you get burned. You want to have 11 kids and way overextend your budget because you think rubbers are evil? Go ahead, but don't come to me for a handout.

EDIT: in response to #76
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on whether or not that last explanation was aimed at me.
