Reading that makes me realize that if we were giving teenage boys condoms and teenage girls birth control pills...then we would have a lot LESS teenage pregnancy.
Teens have always had sex (they have more hormones raging than all of us combined).
But our fucked up religious wacko's in our country just can't seem to figure out why their 15 year old daughter is knocked up.
She's knocked up for the same reason that 15 year old girls have been getting pregnant in droves since the beginning of time...she's fucking.
And she's fucking with no birth control.
We need to stop being hypocritical and remember when WE were teenagers and fucking horny all the damn time. Teenagers fuck. It's what they do.
And if we just had the good sense to give them access to birth control without all the hell raising about it...we'd have a lot less teen pregnancy and a lot lower infant mortality rates. (not to mention all the kids who grow up in a bad situation because their mom was so young when she got pregnant)
