A lesson in prevention

May 20, 2008 by Tanya Zaleski Leave a Comment

Evan Harris from the UK, Monday, had this to say to the press.

What, really, the number of abortions tells us is the number of unwanted pregnancies. That’s the fundamental issue. And the best way to tackle that, as other countries have shown, is to have much better sexual relationships education than we have and much better access to … contraception. (emphasis mine)

He seems, like so many other pro-abortionists, to bring up the issue of unwanted pregnancy like it’s a sort of illness to avoid. Usually, government will offer the obvious methods of disease prevention. Don’t want lung cancer? Quit smoking. Don’t want to be obese? Eat sensibly and exercise. Don’t want to be pregnant? Here’s the kicker. The answer should be ‘refrain from sex outside of a committed relationship.’ But this simple solution evades us. Instead, a more complicated answer is offered, and this cleverly disguised as ‘comprehensive sex education.’

It’s a bit like if government were to say, “Well, the people are going to eat poorly anyways, so let’s start endorsing the latest diet craze or weight-loss pill.”

They grow up so fast

April 7, 2008 by Tanya Zaleski Leave a Comment

A little bit of my dinner just came up. What are we to make of this?

A middle school in Portland, Maine is considering a proposal to provide birth control pills and patches to students as young as 11 years old…The contraceptives could be dispensed without the knowledge of parents…

I know little girls grow up so fast, but they don’t grow up this fast. All the 11-year-old girls I know still need help getting knots out of their shoelaces. They have bedtimes and, in reference to their age, they still say things like, “I’m eleven and a half.”

We do certainly sit down and speak with them about why [being sexually active] is not a good choice,” said Amanda Rowe, the school’s nurse coordinator. “But there are some who persist… and they need to be protected.”

I agree. These girls do need to be protected. And I don’t mean birth control pills.
