At what point do we start applying dollars and sense to all this abolition of sex ed and facilities like Planned Parenthood?
Too many people obsess over other people’s sex lives. It really is money ahead to do everything possible to cut down on unwanted pregnancy. Unwanted pregnancy is horribly expensive and counter productive to societies.
Decent sex education cuts down on disease, emotional problems, unwanted pregnancies and there is a strong argument it cuts down on child abuse.
Some of these folks need to think about being penny wise and pound foolish. This tactic is unwise. Doing something small in the first place beats all the things that can happen as a result of not investing in sex education and funding clinics and Planned Parenthood. Inaction costs a lot more money on down the line.
I was thinking of Planned Parenthood when I read about the 16 year Darius Cannon, who was shot to death in DC last Sunday. It says he was the youngest of 14 children incl. three sets of twins. The mother is 49, which means that she had Darius at 33. So att age 33,
she was the mother of 13 !!!
Oh Dear God!! That is just too many children–More children than anyone could ever take care of. 11 pregnancies. Just shoot me.
