>>“I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”<<
That could mean information about birth control which teens certainly ought to have.
Oh, agreed.
Like for instance the information that the state of California, which has made abstinency-only education in the public schools against the law, which has mandated AIDS/HIV education in all schools, and which has the highest level of contraceptive compliance in the nation, also has the highest rate of STI infections in the 14-19 year old age group and one of the highest abortion rates in the USA.
“which teens certainly ought to have.”
Huh? Teens who engage in non-marital recreational sex should have it, you mean?
