Do you honestly think that you could get a 15 year old boy to buy into that arguement? I agree that there are lots and lots of reasons to wait, with pregnancy and STD's chief among them, but mistakes happen and technology fails occasionally. Abstinence is easily preached but much more difficult to practice, especially for teens.

Its not about whether or not its hard or easy to do. Its about realizing that if you have sex, then there are consequences. Consequences that might be easy or convenient to handle. I have no problem with people having sex. But what I do have a problem with, are people who have sex and then act suprised and upset when they wind up with a kid on the way and think that they have a right to not deal with the consequences of their actions.
