Then you have the grocery stores that put the condoms in glass cabinets and you have to x old to buy them.
I can understand putting them behind glass in order to keep people from stealing them.
While I think condoms are great, it's better to pair them with birth control pills or an IUD.
Putting them behind glass does not keep a minor from buying them. They merely need to ask.
Most schools also have condoms in the nurse's office.
Most medical clinics offer them for free upon request.
Birth Control Pills and IUDs are medical items and carry risk. In this case, as in all cases, the minor should speak to their parents and doctor to discuss these risks, since both have a risk of death and NEITHER protect against STD's or HIV Aids which can also lead to death.
If they don't have the ability to discuss their sexuality with their parents or another adult, then they should abstain from sex. Sexual relations require a certain level of maturity and responsibility.
I know many believe it's damaging to interfere with a minor's sexual education in this manner, but sex can be very damaging to both the body and the mind of an adolescent. It is a serious act and should not be treated as anything less than serious.

My school didn't offer condoms in the nurse's office.
I guess you ignored the part of my post where I said there are age limits on buying condoms depending upon the store. Where my girlfriend works, they ask you how old you are before they sell you condoms.
I know some people who wanted to discuss sex with their parents but they also feared their parent beating them to a pulp so...there ya go. The parents didn't find out they were having sex until AFTER they revealed they were pregnant.
Abortion can hurt the mother as well as denying life to a child.
I respect your right to hold your opinion. I was once like you very pro (30 years ago)abortion, time and life changed me. I saw not only does abortion deny life it also has great negative effects on alot of woman
Pro "choice" is very simple to understand. It describes people who want only the woman to be able to choose to murder an unborn baby because it doesn't suit her to have a child at this time. The other side of the equation - the man, has no say in it. Maybe she should have thought about that before intercourse. In the case of a rape or incest, that's another issue. But elective abortions are murder with malice aforethought. You can try to call it anything you'd like but it is what it is and most honest, intelligent people understand that.
Women who abort fetuses commit murder, plain and simple. Sometimes, as mentioned above an exception can be made but every woman I know who has had an abortion regretted fully and deeply their choice to kill their unborn child and it haunts them forever.
Damn right no man has a say in it He should have watched who he ****ed.
I know people who had abortions and they are NOT sorry. So your little heart tugging crying can be refuted. SIMPLE.

I know right? The same fools who are against abortion also want to deny birth control or Morning after pills.
How about they quit their job if they cant do it. Like Palin.

I do not like the idea of women using it as birth control but HER CHOICE. End of discussion.
And no, I dont agree with partial abortion. If it is comes out and is alive, let it live.

And, I have NEVER, EVER seen a store put any age limitation on buying condoms - I'm not saying that there are a few that might - but again - it RARE.
Yeah because we can just wait for walmart to mail it to my house when I need the morning after pill. Just because some fanatic religious person is against it in a pharmacy. Oh well. Abortion is an option.
Anyone who does not want to fill up birth control or morning after pill should be denied the job or fired or quit. You are not PAID to not fill up whatever just because your religion says so. Pathetic.
I think adoption is a worthy goal but have you looked at the number of kids in foster care?
What gets me is that some on the right praise adoption but then they put up stupid and bigoted roadblocks such as, "Only married couples should be able to adopt" or "only heterosexuals should be allowed to adopt."
I think a woman should be free to make decisions about her destiny. Abortion is part of that. She should be free to decide if/when she wants children and how many.
I would rather work to reduce the number of unwanted and unplanned pregnancies by focusing on birth control, IUDs, comprehensive sex education, condom distribution, education, etc.
Many in the anti-choice movement are against contraception. That doesn't make any sense to me. If you are against abortion, why would you support policies that can very well increase the number of abortions?
It has nothing to do with gay versus straight being able to adopt and you know it. The majority of kids in foster care are A-not adoptable because their parents will not release them for adoption. How little you know, the state can take the child away from a parent, but can not force a parent to sign the child over for adoption..B- Many children are in foster care because they have disabilities that make them almost impossible to place or they are older kids. Newgal: I happen to be one of those that does not want to see condoms given out freely in the schools, I do not think public school is the place for kids to get birth control. Sex education, of course should be taught in schools, though I think most kids know more than we care to admit at an age we would rather not think about. And for your information, I am not a right wing religious nut nor am I niave enough to think abstainance is always the answer.
TheliberalOne: those who are pro-life are paid to push our agenda and it is discusting? What about those who push pro choice and keep calling an unborn baby just a bunch of cells? You get pregnant, you want to drop the baby off at someone's doorstep. I bet their all millions that would love to have that little one, we know, we have adopted and we have raised foster kids. Pro choicers have a choice, they can choose not to get pregnant.
"Partial-birth abortion" is one term that has been widely adopted by the media, despite being a political construct that refers to no known medical procedure.

Are you referring to me here? Theliberalvoice? Or someone else who is liberal?

In the VERY FEW CASES where the pharmacist will not fill the script, the pharmacy simply does not carry the medication. It will be known in the community.
