And not only am a parent (and old enough to be a grandparent), I was around when birth control for married couples was illegal. Yes, I understand you misinterpreting what I say, but my only point is:
if you keep the lines of communication with your children open, there is a very good chance your children will know that you trust them to make the right decisions. And they WON'T be in that position in the first place.
Teach your kids right. Respect them and they will respect you. If you instill them with trust in what you say and a sense that you will love them unconditionally, that equips them with power. The power to SAY NO to the boys, to SAY NO to premarital sex, to say NO to condoms.
I have seen enough in my lifetime to convince me if a child has been brought up to think for themselves with a sense of values, the values you instill in them from a very young age, understanding and trust will flow...both ways.
It is the child who is brought up to only fear their parents or have learned that they cannot talk to the only person in the world they need the most. In a time of trouble, if they believe you would not be there for them, then the problem goes way deeper than a piece of free latex.
This is not an issue about parent / child communication or trust.
This IS about the government openly supporting an organization that violates every possible concept of parental authority. I find it worse than despicable.
I called these droolers once to verify that this, in fact, was their policy. Not only did they confirm that they will provide abortions (and many other "services") to teenaged girls without any parental notification (let alone consent), but this person said it in a haughty, condescending, snotty tone as if to say "....look, you knuckle dragger, we'll do with YOUR daughter whatever WE wish and there's not a damned thing you can do about it....".
They'll get their comeuppance, I'm convinced.
