But really, I do agree with that. I see no problem with teenagers being sexually active, because they're designed that way, what with the hormones raging and all, but them being careful is the issue. Not to bash on anyone that's religious, but a lot of the bad press for contraception comes from religion. I live in Oklahoma, and we have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation (Apparently there's nothing else to do around here, lol), but it's also one of the most religious. I have a lot of religious friends, that are sexually active, but don't usually use protection, sometimes because of what they've been taught in their church. Churches need to realize that we all can't be chaste monks, using our pent up tension to put out an obscene amount of vaguely erotic illuminated manuscripts....Holy crap,I think I just figured out the Middle Ages.
