If the fear of that doesn't reduce unwanted pregnancies, nothing will.

Mind you, not nearly as many people would be able to make those cute little balloon doggies...

1. They don't really need sexual organs at all at that age.
Isn't there a procedure where you can keep them in a jar until they can be used responsibly?

I believe it's called "marriage".

4. That's not such an absurd idea.....
many of these girls get pregnant on purpose, meaning neither teaching abstinence nor contraceptive dispensing will work. Just make them incapable of getting pregnant. With a vas, the boys can freeze their sperm in a container before the surgery so they can father children when they wish. A tubal is generally permanent. Maybe Norplant or some other long-term injection method instead? Of course, it would really scare the girls to award custody to the infant's father.

5. Let's give them lobotomies, too -- God knows they don't use their friggin' brains.
