Thank you for the reply, it is mostly in line with my thoughts.
I would ask you, do you see any provision in our education system, the ability to stop even older ‘children’ to have children?
Is there, in our society, the ability to give them the reasoning to not have children? (or has that now become some kind or right or right of passage?)
The United Nations (not that I have faith in that) attempts to and request funding to do so in other nations. What stops us from doing the same?
(realizing that the question/s may be without an answer).
Again, thanks.

We cannot expect to find success among among all classes and ethnicities by teaching them about relationships, sex and reproduction in the exact same manner
Thus, Abstinence Education may work with suburban kids who have educated parents and who have other avenues of information available to them if they wish to research contraception.
However, those kids who have uneducated parents and thus may not have the intellectual discipline to choose abstinence, will not be well served with Abstinence Education. Furthermore, these kids likely do not have access to the Internet or the skills required to research birth control.
Therefore, since the parents in that second group are failing to provide their children with the abilities to make wise decisions or at least to conduct research on matters of reproduction, it is up to us, the educated, to see to it that our schools provide this information.
