Amazingly enough, in those high schools that were allowed to actually teach REAL sex education teen pregnancy rates went down an appreciable amount.


>>One might think that we up here should have high abortion rates because of our liberal position. But actually the Netherlands have about the lowest abortion rates of the western world. This probably is because of the open sexual education culture we have up here (many teenagers do carry condoms or are on oral anti conception).

>You're proposing a damn leftie freedom-with-responsible-individuals thing, it's too liberal, it will never happen here. The guys here just KNOW the people can't be trusted to use their heads, judging by themselves. They KNOW that decisions about human lives cannot be trusted to humans themselves, but rather to other humans who are somehow supposed to know better.

>OK, it's partially happened here once, but it was the excesses of the sixties and seventies, it will be rolled back. The sheep will just walk back into the pen and everything will be fine.

>>In the US where often the victorian sex-code still rules it has actual the opposite effect. If children are not educated they will experiment and accidents (getting pregnant) will happen. More accidents will happen if they practise a do-it-yourself-abortion. If we are pro-life, let us at least be sure those abortions are done safely to prevent both mother and child to die.

>But that's what they actually want - reverting any progress that happened during the last 70-80 years. It'll be "get raped, see the perp walk unscathed, then choose between giving birth to another one or being guilty of visiting the butcher".
