Yes, that would probably cut down on 90 percent of unwanted pregnancies. It's curious why no Christians will support the very things that will save so many of the "babies" they cry over. It kind of makes you think they don't really want to stop unwanted pregnancies, doesn't it? Maybe it's too good of a wedge issue to give up?
That's sort of the case. The bigger reason is that evangelical Christians want to discourage and stigmatize having sex out of wedlock. That's why they promote "abstinence only" sex education and view real sex education as "promoting sin."
Do you want to cut down on unwanted pregnancies, and thus, abortions, or do you not? That's the choice here.
Human are sexual beings. That's not going to change. So choose what you want more.
They can go buy condoms at the grocery store, Target, Kmart, Walgreens, CVS, gas stations, quickie mart, 7-11 ... anyone anywhere who says that they can't find cheap BC or demands someone else pay for their BC is a moron.
I remember last year's March For Life. I think about 50 people showed up on the Mall in Washington. They were such a small group no one knew they were there.
Crowd estimates were 200,000 to 300,000. Hardly "small."
Looks like Generation Z will be known as the activist generation. At least they're standing up for something they believe in. Whether it is stricter gun laws, pro life, pto-gun, pro choice, etc. They're getting involved. It gives me hope.
Yes it takes guts to cut 5th period PE and 6th period study hall.
As a taxpayer, I am not paying for high school student to do protests on MY DIME.
They can protest on the weekends on their own time......if they can get anyone to show up.
Totally agree. Kids are getting dumber by the minute.

And if they're morons, all the better for them to obtain free BC.
How much you want to bet these "Pro-Life" people are opposed to any form of social safety nets and love their guns?
I'm damn tired of the "pro-fetus" crowd who only values life BEFORE it is born. After that, you're on your own. If you're poor, tough luck - here's a gun, and have fun! Hypocrites.
No, the adults made the rules by setting a precedent. And as I noted one of the things a good radical does is make the enemy play by their own rules.
If you don't want future walkouts you should have never condoned and actively supported the first one.
Let me get this straight.
If your child asks to go to a sleep over and you say yes, does that mean from then on every time your child asks to go to a sleep over you MUST say yes?
After all, you condoned and actively supported the sleep over by helping them pack their clothes and driving them to their friends house.
Here is the way this should work.
"You are not allowed to walk out of class. If you do, you will be disciplined. You are still a child and you do not get a vote. End of discussion."
In other words......"Because I said so." No negotiating. They are children.
