Also true is your stupid post. One anecdote does not make a movement.

Maybe you should abide by your own proposal.

Wouldn't hurt for you to bone up on what is going on in our country. These links should help.

Louisiana allows minors access to some contraceptive services w/o parental consent.

Well then, I guess she thought her knowledge about abstinence only was good enough.

Or she/her boyfriend forgot to buy the condoms. Sheesh! Every 17 yr old knows about condoms.

Yep. And the ramifications of getting pregnant, like having to care for another person for 18 plus years of their life.

LOL. Wow. Rock-hard rationalization indeed!

You know what, I have known people who've subscribed to the loophole theory. Catholic people.

Forgot? LOL! Condoms are available in all drugstores, Walmarts, most men's bathrooms and should be in high school bathrooms.

If they found themselves without a condom, I guess they didn't consider abstinence even as a back-up plan.

What bothers me is parents who pass out birth control to their teenage kids. IMO, it's like giving one a license to drive when they aren't even old enough to do so. I think it encourages promiscuity and immoral behavior among them. What kind of a message are these parents sending to their kids to have sex but just don't get caught with the consequences.
