It'd be every uber-liberal's dream come true from what I've learned, and I wouldn't have to pay for some little snot's daycare. Win-win.
Abortions are scary? Never heard that crop up in health-ed.  |
My take: the unfortunate thing is that, TYPICALLY, the people who want to prevent a woman from making her own choice are the same people who don't want their kids to learn how to prevent unwanted pregnancy in school. Yet they also don't teach them, themselves.
So what you have is kids who want to have sex, don't know how to prevent pregnancy, yet you don't want them to be able fix the problem after the fact, then they are ostracized for getting pregnant or having a child out of wedlock (bad girl), or they get into a marriage that nobody really wanted, often ending up a divorced, single parent. Seems like they get screwed all the way around.
