House GOP drops controversial abortion bill ahead of Roe v. Wade anniversary

Really? So you who says that the kids are going to have sex anyway, isn't the problem eh? No, it's those of is whom don't want unborn children killed in the womb, we're the problem...think about how dumb that logic sounds.

I will agree though that we aren't doing enough to support these teen fathers taking responsibility, or instilling the values of waiting til real love, and marriage though.

Actually, I practiced abstinence until I was married and I encouraged our 4 children to remain abstinent during their teens and early 20s. I also reinforced that birth control is should be used properly every time they had sex when they became sexually active until they wanted to start a family.

3 of my children were married in their late 20s and they each started their families 1 to 3 years after their marriages.

My older son has remained single.

I am a strong advocate for encouraging using contraceptives if one is sexually active and does not want children.

Birth control especially long term birth control has been the most effective tool for reducing elective abortions.

People having sex causes pregnancy. We all know that. Your personal value judgments dont change that a bit, except for your own behavior.

Historically, the graver consequences of death during childbirth, pregnancy, having a bastard child, back alley abortions, social stigma on men and women...none of those things stopped people from having sex. Not even close. It is ridiculous to think that with much safer options today, men and women would have LESS sex, something that is so enjoyable and creates such intimacy in developing relationships. Certainly more women hope that those encounters lead to relationships more than men.

So 'wishing' that adults will stop having sex is not remotely a realistic option for reducing unwanted and unplanned pregnancy.

How about you leave the fantasies and your judgement behind and move on to a more realistic discussion?
