We've been doing that for the past 50 years.Or it means education has come to a point of diminishing returns. The phrase “lead a horse to water” comes to mind. How many ways have we told people not to drink and drive, not to do heroin or meth, etc? How many different ways have we taught the STEM fields? There’s always going to be a population where education doesn’t stick. You and the government cannot eliminate that. You could Clockwork orange people all day, people are still going to make stupid choices. In a matter of this magnitude, why not put the damn water in a bottle with a straw right in front of their mouth, eliminate the step of them having to spend half a day to go out and get contraception?Look at the stats that deal with black kids in ghetto districts.Strange. I know a majority of young people who haven't done any such thing. Unless of course, you have stats showing that a majority of young people are having babies out o wedlock or unprotected sex?The overwhelming vast majority of people of childbearing age have been educated on the matter since at least 5th grade to the end of their high school. I don’t think education is the problem. The problem is in youth, doing as the youthful do, assuming they can get away with things and skip steps when the correct steps aren’t ready for them at the moment. That moment being when they’re horny AF with hormones raging through their body. There would still be dumbasses and lazy people, my proposal is to eliminate any excuse they have for their laziness and dumbassery.Okay, why is it we are paying for that and not for programs that teach people the consquences of their actions?This is a view that’s reasonable on the matter. I personally don’t like the idea of government paying for contraceptives (because they’re stupid cheap to begin with). But let’s pass a law, universal contraceptives for all, whatever contraception you want, but no more abortion (with exceptions to the .001% of cases of rape and incest, since it’s going to be brought up) . That’s a compromise that any pro-life person should be willing to make. You now have zero excuse to need an abortion other than your own irresponsibility. We cannot be the arbiters of covering for people’s irresponsibiltiy when dealing with the issue of human life. This is why we have manslaughter laws.
Besides, contraception is cheap and affordable for everyone. If that would be your answer, then bring it to your state legislature and advocate for it.
In My opinion, education is the panacea of nearly every social ill we face.
No? I've looked at the stats.
The rate of teenage sex is high, but it is by no means, a majority or even common practice. While I would like to see that number at zero, the truth is, it is ony a percentage and that means that the education IS working.
You'll see an entirely different story.
Because the state reigns supreme in poverty stricken areas that are dependent upon state goodies. And they promote, teach and reward promiscuity.
And we've witnessed an unprecedented increase in out of wedlock births and abortion.
It doesn't work. They are educated about the mechanics. They understand the mechanics. The contraceptives are available. That isn't the problem, and never has been.
