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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
