He married her. He said they had been on vacation and forgot to bring condoms.

I just don't get it. I grew up in the 70's. Making that trip to Planned Parenthood for birth control was something everyone did. I didn't go until I was 19, but I didn't decide that I might have sex until then. But I did have formal, FACT BASED, sex education AT CHURCH! A Unitarian church.

We can't rely on parents to educate their children about sex, contraception and disease control. Just because you have a baby doesn't mean you know all the FACTS.

If churches want to encourage abstinence, they need to get real and acknowledge that some young people will become sexually active. In fact "promise" kids are just as likely to have sex as other kids.

Think about how we educate kids about alcohol. We tell him don't drink. But, we tell the if they do drink, DON'T DRIVE. We tell them not to get in a car with a drunk driver. It's called Harm Reduction. We owe it to our children to educate them this way about sex, alcohol and drugs.
