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.”

Sex-ed in the 21st Century

March 31, 2008 by Véronique Bergeron Leave a Comment

My children Liesl, Kurt, Martha and Brigitta are sitting silently in the dentist’s waiting room, filling-out their health questionnaire. Kurt glances up and asks the million dollar question every parent dreams of being asked in public:

“Mommy, what are Cialis and Viagra?”

Me, clearing my throat, thinking very fast: “Drugs. You aren’t taking any.”

Kurt: “What kind of drugs?”

Me, thinking very fast at a G-rated explanation of erectile dysfunction: “They’re for adult males who have sexual problems.”

Liesl: “Gross…”

Martha: “What are adult males? What sexual problems?”

Me: “Males about the age of Daddy?”

Brigitta: “Daddy has sexual problems?”

Liesl: “Oh, look at the time…”

Me, looking at the receptionist in despair: “Isn’t one of the kids due for a cleaning right about NOW?”

Sex-ed in the 21st century: it’s all about opportunities. They are literally everywhere.
