Where is real leadership? How come we don't have a helmsman to guide us and convey the wisdom of a variety of advisors? How come movie stars aren't putting on pro bono ads explaining in tender terms how we are killing not only our country but our planet by mass producing low forms of the human species-uneducated, under supervised.
The stark opposition to abstinence teaching is having the reverse affect intended. Kids are getting the message it's O.K. to have sex (due to the open argument between radical stances on both sides. And some kids always choose the way that sounds fun and is endorsed by many adults). But they aren't using birth control pills and such, because that would take a smidgen of responsible consideration. When you've already -subconsciously or consciously- chosen a value system that releases you from all blame cause it's a natural instinct, how are you gonna make the leap that you need to protect yourself and your partner from unwanted pregnancy and STD's?
