I am curious though of the readers here, whether for adstinence only education or not, did wait until they were at least 18 to have sex.

I’ll start. I’m in the at least 18 category.

By the way, my point is not to expose hypocrisy, since I could understand someone having sex at 16, but later thinking that that was a bad idea. But to see to get an idea on how realistic abstinence only education is.

To deny hormonal young people their benefit by NOT TEACHING PROPER USE and espousing the COMPLETELY UNFEASABLE abstinence approach is tantamount to criminal negligence.

And therefore, to deny young people the benefits of driving, alcohol use, tobacco use, medical consent, and ability to sign contracts by not teaching proper use and espousing the completely unfeasible abstinence approach is, also tatamount to criminal negligence.

If a ten-year old should be taught how to have sex and use a condom, I fail to see why they shouldn’t be allowed to drive, drink, smoke, sign binding agreements, and consent to medical procedures. After all, if they’re responsible and trustworthy enough to have sex and always use protection, why not any of the other?

Abstinence education is all about teaching kids the single most important thing to be learned about sex — how to override your hormones and say “no” when the situation is not right.

But abortion clinics make no money off people who abstain or use sex responsibly; they make it off the people who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to erase an “oops”. Just as payroll loan sharks target those who have a history of making bad money decisions, abortionists and their gay leftist allies target groups who have a history of making bad decisions when it comes to sex and systematically try to encourage them to do so.

– post anything at GayPatriot involving Susan Sarandon! Ughhhhhh!

Oh good grief. Get a grip GP.

Interesting assumption. Saying condoms prevent HIV transmission is like saying that condoms prevent pregnancy. They’re surprisingly ineffective in preventing either.
