Is it so much opposition to... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 25/08/2011 09:18:12 PM
Birth Control & Sex Education, so much as it is opposition to paying for someone else's birth control and how the sex education is conducted?

Note that I'm not speaking of abortion in this post.

I find it....not appropriate...to force me to pay for someone else's birth control measures. Likewise, it is not the state's place to decide how to educate my (future) children in sex. I am going to instruct them in regards to that subject, not just from a fact/procedural aspect, but also with a philosophical belief structure. Many see it as necessary to have both aspects in regards to sex education. Since the state is not capable of teaching those philosophical beliefs on a student by student basis, many individuals believe that an important aspect of sex education is missed.

Yes, I acknowledge the fact that sex education can take place in health class. I also believe that it is appropriate to do so, however that class should not be offered until a later stage in teen development. Prior to that, the parents are in place to provide the basic introduction to the subject.
