QUOTE(yummy_delight @ Oct 6 2005, 6:13 PM) If that's the case, you could argue that there's no real need for adults to be having pre-marital sex if they don't plan on it resulting in children. You can't stop anyone from having sex. Even if we strapped chastity belts on everyone, they'd probably find a way to get them off. I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. Look, it's none of my business if kids are having sex. It becomes my business when they apply for abortion, because the burden is falling on taxpayers for the mistakes of kids. QUOTE Obviously that person is to blame. That's why we have Health class, Sex Ed, and family planning in schools to try and educate them as to what could potentially happen if they choose to have sex. However, drilling all of this into their head is definitely not going to get them to stop. Talking won't get all of them to stop. Classes haven't gotten them to stop. The law in question (which I think we've gotten ourselves off topic from, btw) won't get them to stop, either.  Actually, if you read the previous posts here, you'll read that abstinence programs resulted in drastic decreases in sexual activity in teenage girls. The law in question will have an effect, because it brings parents into the equation. |

^ if i remember the stats correctly all abstinence programs do is delay the age of the start of sexual activity, and remove contraceptives from the event.
and how does a teen applying for an abortion burden taxpayers? and if anything that burdens taxpayers and someone doesn't should be banned, then well we might as well ban everything. QUOTE 48 hours gives time for support and counseling on alternatives to abortion. And if the parents don't let her go for those 48 hours, the girl can bring it to a judge, or reschedule. Also, in case the abortion goes awry, the parents will have been able to talk with the girl before the abortion. you know that's not the real reason. abortion clincs aready do all that counseling and presenting of alternates to abortion. in fact, some abortion doctors are required by law to tell everyone seeking an abortion that it increases the risk of breast cancer, ' when all scientific evidence says the contrary. and how is a girl locked up in a house able to bring her case against a judge? there are these kinds of parents, you know. |

I've read plenty of studies that say that abstinence programs do not decrease sexual activity. |

There are girls who believe in abstinence and there are girls that do not. If you tell them at 13 years old "you should not have sex", that will not change their mind. Telling someone not to have sex does not make them not have sex. You can tell me not to have sex all you want, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have sex before I'm married. It's not a goal or anything, just an educated guess. I don't want to get married until a couple years into the relationship, until I'm actually sure I want to spend the rest of my life with that person - and I'm probably going to have sex with that person before those years are up. Tell me all you want not to, but it's probably gonna happen.
