You do realise that using multiple condoms increases the probability that one of them will break, don't you?Originally Posted by lordblazer
I'm okay with abortions if they're done before five months into the pregnancy, because from what I understand, the baby has no developed capacity to feel pain. After that, I'm only okay with them in cases of rape or in which the mother's life is threatened, and I don't approve of partial-birth abortions (in which the baby is killed as it's being born, hence the name partial birth at all).
To the people who are comparing sex to drugs: It's not the same. Drugs like E and crack are harmful no matter which way you slice it, but if you're careful and use protection and birth control, sex isn't actually that dangerous even at a young age; the only risk I'm aware of is that it increases the risk of cervical cancer developing. Granted, I don't think kids should be having sex, but it's their decision to make regardless, and if you give them the impression that sex is forbidden it just makes them want to do it more. Which a lot of them will.
I agree that adoption is preferable to abortion, but I also don't think it's a choice us males deserve to make, since we'll never have to deal with the physical symptoms of pregnancy. I do agree that women in long-term relationships should discuss it with their partners though.
Edit: And abstinence-only education is definitely happening in many parts of the country, and it's already been demonstrated not to have favourable results.
