I guess you never met Tolstoy after he passed his 80th birthday. In any event, my suggestion is to let folks work this out for themselves. That is not only the most healthy and prudent, but government is hopeless in this area in any event, and should stay the hell out. Let young people make their mistakes, and pay for them on their own. Laissez faire in this arena is indicated, as is responsibility for any resulting issue.

If I am making the wrong assumption then I apologize but the only real restraint on "young people's" sex lives are various age of consent laws. On the other hand local governments are handing out condoms. The federal government has no sex laws beyond the MANN act that I know of.

Those who made the mistakes in days of yore, were the ones who paid for them-not anymore! Those who create problems in the privacy of their own bedrooms, come out and pile them upon the backs of tax-payers.

Pregnancies that happen in the privacy of bedrooms-becomes the responsibility of everyone else when the piper has to be paid. If they decide to abort the innocent, they expect the other innocents (tax-payers) to fund the procedure, even if they are anti-abortion. Those who wind up with AIDS or other diseases they catch from irresponsible and/or perverted sex in the privace of their bedroom, demand that the tax-payers spend whatever it takes to find a cure, so they can get well and continue their perverted life style.

Most of us, prudes or otherwise, really wouldn't give a d*mn what people do in their own bedrooms, if the participants paid for their own mistakes, and didn't come squeeling for the rest of us to bail them out.

If they suffer in silence for what they must pay for what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms-it is their business- if the cost must be shared by the rest of us, then it is our business.
