I asked my mother for an IUD for when I started dating. She was a little nervous, but she agreed to it with no fight or argument. She actually wanted me to get the birth control shot because she had a bad experience with one when she younger and they were pretty unsafe. They are much better now and this form of birth control is the best for I believe from all the research I have done, because it is so discrete especially since I go to small christian school.
If this got out in small town the old church folk would be gossiping like nothing else. It is not like teenagers do not have sex, drink or party here. It's just that there parents turn a blind eye to it and do not want to talk about and I overheard a girl my age complaining the a while back about having to miss church to go to Birmingham for the morning after pill! This was before the morning after pill could be sold over the counter to girls seventeen or up.The reason why it was not sold earlier is because of the Christian right.
I truly believe the Christian Right causes more abortions in this country by censoring sex education and blocking contraception for students and low income families than the Agnostic left could ever dream about.
Interestingly, Alabama and the rest of the south has one of the highest teen pregnancies in the U.S.A.
When is the South going to realize putting a Bible between a girls legs is just not as effective as a condom.

A Bible between the legs? I hadn't thought of that, but I should think it would work wonderfully, especially if it was one of those huge old family Bibles. if nothing else, it would kill the mood for a lot of us. I saw a bumper sticker today that said: "A Condom is Easier to Change that a Diaper."
ReplyDeleteI seen those too. There so funny. A big old bible between the legs sounds kinda painful.
ReplyDeleteEver notice abstince only focases more on girls than guys. I never heard of purity ball for boys or guys writing a letter to their future wives pledging virginty.
Looks like they believe that the power of God can do anything except kill a teen boys sex drive.
