If You Don’t Believe That Abortion Is A Woman’s Right, Then Why, Christians Will You Not Permit Sex Ed To Be
PROPERLY taught in schools. kids are going to do it…and having a teacher stand there and say…”just don’t do it.” is not cutting it.
why can there be no discussion of birth control in health classes? explain yourself.
also…if your 13 year old daughter asked to be put on the pill….would you let her?
Well, I am a Christian, and I do believe that abortion should be a right. I believe sex ed should be taught in schools, and yes, I would put my child on the pill.
I really wish people would stop generalizing about Christians as a whole. Not all of us are anti-abortion, anti-homosexual, etc.
We are all, believe it or not, capable of individual thought.
Look around…there are a lot of teens that are having a sex life…do you think it’s normal?
When they find a boy and want to be with him would want to give the best gift…but it will not be possible! Please try to think as a real human being! The sin is working in us if we don’t pray it will not go away! let’s learn from all the example we can see!
Let’s help our children have a better life, why do they have to sin sleeping like an adult…when they can do things for their age?
Please!!!!!!!!!!
We have to pray for this world that’s loosing everything that means “value”!
actually where I’m from, the teachers teach “this is why you don’t do it”.
Teaching how to use birth (don’t do it..but if you do, do it so you can get away with it) control will create a false sense of security in the youth (who as a group believe themselves to be too smart/good/lucky to have any bad effects) and to some extent encourage sexual activity. and what is the next step after teaching them how to use birth control? handing out condoms? if anything birth control should be taught by the parents or learned from trial and error.
if my daughter wanted to be put on the pill? depends, does she have an abnormally painful period? then yes no problem. if not then NO, i would not consent in any way to premarital sexual activity, especially as a minor.
also from my POV what is taught is the proper way to teach it
I always thought this rather funny myself. Those the most strongly against abortion are usually the ones that are against sexual education. :O
You have a right to do whatever you want as long as it is lawful.
Always remember, the ramifications of your choices is what you will face.
No one can dictate what another person does we all have free will.If a woman has an abortion she will have to face the consequences emotionally,physically,and spiritually.And there are consequences for all we do.I don’t know where you get your info from but many Christians teach sex education,but they also teach abstinence.Parents should teach their own children what they have conviction to do.Its between them and God,he is our judge,he is the one a christian lives this life for not others opinions.
I think abortion can be okay in cases of rape or serious health or life threats, I’m against it being used as a method of birth control.
I will absolutely let my children participate in sex-ed at school, and make sure I teach my children about sex as well, not just leave it to the teachers.
About the daughter – that depends, if she’s having very painful periods, then that can be a viable option for calming them down. But I’d warn her about it – the women in my family have all had really bad emotional side effects to it.
As a Christian & realist, I have no problem with sex ed in school–as long as its done properly. Now, it is more like an instruction & permission slip.
For those that are so despirate to have the schools do your job, would you object to the education being done from a Christian perspective? & I dont mean have a 2 minute class that just says: “just dont do it”. But also learn the ramifications of your “choice”. It should also be more than a bunch of kids learning “penis” instead of “peepee”. Read education that does also include the benefit of abstinance.
I will agree with you that it is not enough to just tell kids not to “do it”. They need a whole lot more information than that, but not on how to use condoms.
Sex is not just about making sure you don’t catch an STD (and, by the way, condoms don’t protect against all STDs, including herpes; in fact, the most dangerous virus, the HIV virus, is small enough to pass through a condom) or get pregnant. So many young people are making poor relationship choices in high school and having sex for all the wrong reasons. Merely giving high schoolers “protection” and how to use it is a superficial band-aid for all the complexities surrounding sex. We need relationship education, lifestyle goal-setting (college, monogamy, etc.), teach kids how to communicate with their parents about their sexuality questions, and educate on why sex inside marriage (for males AS MUCH AS females) is the most fulfilling.
Honestly, which of you are prepared to explain to your 13-year-old that sorry, honey, I know followed my advice about protection, sorry your heart is broken and you have herpes for the rest of your life. I really thought you’d be “safe’!
I think all that stuff is humanistic teachings and why I don’t allow my daughter to go to a public school. I put the fear of God in my kids and if all parents did this maybe things would be different. If my 13 year old came to me about the pill I’d punish her and then seek Gods guidance.
I don’t agree with the talk of birth control or condoms in health class because I don’t want my child to think its OK to have sex outside of marriage. Its wrong and goes against the word of God.
As for my views on abortion, I’m against it, but who am I to tell someone that against their will they have to be a mother. I really believe that if abortion was banned that people would be doing it anyways or we’ll be finding lots more newborns in garbage bags. Murder is murder. whats worse, taking the life of a baby in the womb or after its already taken its first breath
I am a christian and I am against abortion. However I am not against se#xual ed. I will tell my children about sex and I woud let them get the education in schoold. The way we are living these days they need to know and they need to be prepare. I don’t see why you say christians because they aren’t all the same. As you can see I am one and I am not in favor of you just said.
Now if my daughter is 13 and asked me to be put on the pill, I would be very devastated because I would want the best for my daughter. However if her choice is to have sex, although I could try to stop her, if she is going to do it she is going to do it no matter what. So I would let her, rather that than getting preg at 13.
But I will not encourage this situation.
I mean we are christians but we aren’t perfect. We struggle w/ many things but we try our best to live like Christ and do the right thing. When the time comes my daughter would have to answer God for what she did, I can’t save her she has to do that herself. I can only show her the road, plant the seed.
I am against abortion, and, yes, against sex ed. being taught in school.
The sexual education of my child is something that I must take responsibility for. It falls in the realm of morality – and face it, public schools have no basis in morality.
If my daughter asked to be put on the pill I would say no, if my son asked for condoms I would say no.
Parents, by and large, are failing the children by allowing them to be taught by someone else – so they can say “I didn’t teach my kids to behave THAT way.” thereby tossing out any responsibility.
Perhaps I am a little different, I teach my children right and wrong, I teach morals, I teach our Catholic faith and (here’s the shocker) I have a relationship with my children – we talk.
youre making assumptions
im not against sex education
at 18 my daughter was active and I did get her on the pill…now she is born again
Beware of generalization. I have no problem with sex ed. A lot of kids aren’t taught at home, or are taught untruths out of ignorance. And whatever choices you make in your life, eventually we all need to know those things.
f you don’t believe that abortion is a woman’s right, then why, christians will you not permit sex ed to be
SEX ED is just a “How to” lesson.
This question is the same as “If people do not like murder using guns why don’t they teach gun handling in school?”
this will be interesting because countries that do have a liberal approach to sex education have lower rates of teenage pregnancy. I’m going to love seeing the rationalisations.
there is no such thing as a “right” to kill,
at best, it’s a woman’s exclusive privilege.
(EDIT: , Two thumbs down and no one with the stones to even attempt a rebuttal.)
I would let my daughter because I want to protect her. I asked my mom when I was in high school, and she said no. I did not ask her as a prerequisite to having sex. I was already active, and I just wanted to be safe. SHe said no, and I did it anyway. That is causing your child to take a serious risk!!!!
ALSO, I think that sex ed should tell kids not to do it til they are older, but I think that they should also inform them about the options that they have if they do decide to have sex. SO many peopel do not know where they can get condoms and birth control, so they just have unprotected sex.
there’s the problem you assume they are going to do it – if we start at the right age and get it in their heads its better to wait then all the pressure from friends and school wont matter b/c they are answering to a higher power (God) that wants them to wait – of course this doesnt work for atheists parents
One of those puzzling contradictions.
The very people who oppose abortion are often the same ones who most strongly oppose anything that would reduce the call for abortion.
It’s because, despite their denials, they want to impose their own religious views on everyone. If not, they wouldn’t object to sex-ed or contraceptives that would prevent pregnancies that might lead to abortion.
I think you’re just looking to cause controversy. It’s early, and you’re bored, I understand. To answer your question, no, if my 13 yr old daughter asked to be put on the pill, I wouldn’t let her because thats like saying “Sure honey…go have sex, I don’t mind” I think we dont want sex education taught in schools because they decide when your child is old enough to hear about sex, and they decide how they should be taught about sex, and, they promote sex at a young age, as long as its “Safe”. Christians are taught to wait until marriage. So while we’re telling them to wait, school is telling them go for it, just wear a condom. Sex education should be up to the parents to decide when their child is ready to hear about it, and how they want them to be taught, not schools.
Christians teach reproduction and its responsibilities to our children ourselves.
We don’t like immoral people teaching that to our children, because they teach it out of the context of the word of God.
Why do you think only Christians are pro-life?
I’m pro-life/anti-choice and I’m an atheist. I do think that sex-ed should be taught in schools. I think that barrier methods should be promoted, that hormonal methods should be presented with both the pros and cons of their use. I think that STD education should be manditory — including identification, causation, curing or treating, prevention, etc.
In short, I think kids should be taught what they need to know to be as safe as possible, encouraged to refrain but armed with knowledge necessary to be responsible, and if pregnancy should occur, to accept the consequences of their actions with maturity and responsibility.
I believe that sex ed. should be taught in schools PROPERLY. It is not just christian parents who are against it but others as well saying they will teach that at home but don’t, I suppose that it is the parents who need to take responsibility along with the kids. It really shouldn’t be a teachers responsibility.
Yes I would let my 13 yr. old take the pill if that is what she wanted to do but I would also explain to her about STD’s and get condoms for her.
I’m an atheist pro-lifer who thinks it SHOULD be taught in schools and that condoms should be available too. If someone’s going to do it, they should do it safely. Girls should be on the pill if they insist on it.
kinda silly, too, i think… there should be THOROUGH information given about health issues involved in sex and how to prevent them, cuz otherwise kids are not only gonna have sex, but they’ll get pregnant & stds.
i think there should be some sort of b.c. for all teens, until they reach 18 (or the majority age). i was on the pill from the time i was 14 (but it was recommended by my doc for amenorrhea)
Answer to the pill question: NO NO NO
First question: Sex ed has no place in a child’s life. Why should we be exposing our kids to these things? And in school of all places? School is for learning…not for personal agendas.
And as always…..abortion is murder.
