This middle school pill issue has exposed something about the left’s worldview that everyone should keep in mind.
Now, there are some leftists (the secular socialists) that understand the “unintended” consequences and actively work to make them happen,
but in general, leftists can’t understand the concept of “incentives”.
(Aside: since free markets are based in incentives, they can’t understand them at all.)
But, back to the pill for 11 yr olds issue.
In general, the leftist thought process goes like this:
There are some who are making choice X, which will have consequence Y, which is undesirable. So, we must somehow alleviate consequence Y, since choice X is a given.
No thought or understanding is given to the idea that the existence of consequence Y is what keeps choice X from being made more often.
Then, when more of choice X occurs after their alleviation of the consequence, they slip into the “wow, it was more prevalent than we even thought it was!”.
These are the ignorant leftists - simply dangerously stupid, like an ape with a pistol.
Then there are the SS, the secular socialists, who use the opportunity to cause more chaos and destruction of society. They KNOW that there will be more destructive choices made if the personal consequences are removed, and revel in it.
The Sex Positive Agenda as preached by Kinsey, Reich, Feminists, and Marxists seeks to see everyone sexually active “embracing their birthright for sexual release” at every age with no moral judgements over sexual pairings regardless of age, sex, number, relation, marital status, or species of partner(s).
They oppose abstinence because they consider it to be an unhealthy supression of sexual desire. They cite “genetic” support for homosexuality but don’t care end the end because they believe that you shouldn’t moralize any sexual pairing.
Condoms in schools was not about ending pregnancy or disease, it was about forever winning the argument over IF teens should be having sex and shifting it to WHEN...
An excellent analysis that applies to many other issues too. For such an important issue like this, which is all about the true “health” of the children, why the left (and possibly a majority in the country) accepts X (contraception to 11 year olds!), rather than combatting it, just boggles the mind! We are living in an alternate universe.
