No, I think that schools and parents should teach abstinence; I know that many pay "lip service to it, but when you get right down to it, they are pushing sex.

Would it be fair for me to ask you if you would prefer that teenage girls grow up to have osteoporosis when they get older, or contract HIV or other STDs because they are using birth control?

I figure the most likely outcome of unprotected sex is pregnancy.

I prefer abstinence, but I am realistic to think that teenagers probably won't follow that. I would then want them to know about birth control.

It seems like taking calcium supplements would help with osteoporosis, and then condoms help with STDs and HIV.

Depo-provera is a great birth control alternative to many women, and I hope it is not taken off the market.
