"On the first day of the trial, which is being heard without a jury, plaintiff witness Dr. Robert Blum, a professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, asserted that the Attorney General interpretation would have "a chilling effect on youths seeking contraception or treatment for sexually transmitted disease - ultimately leading to more teen pregnancies, more abortions and more disease spreading."
"Youths will be less likely to seek treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, and therefore more likely to spread them to others, he said. Untreated, they would also pose significant health consequences to themselves."
"on the first day of testimony Dr. Robert Blum testified that, in general adolescents between the ages of 13 and 15 are mature enough to make decisions regarding sexual conduct. However, a few minutes later, he testified that he was horrified at the prospect of children in that same age group marrying since they lacked the emotional maturity to engage in married relationships."
Always notice this about the assumptions that liberals make when talking about sexual activity.
SEXUAL ACTIVITY IS A GIVEN.
They don’t even discuss, or fathom, that our society could value abstinence until marriage as something to be worked for.
