about Sexual Education...

One of the many problems in the debate over abortion is the fact people get pregnant in the first place. many talk about birth control, but what of personal responsibility and understanding of sex, pregnancy, and child birth in general? What about the sexual education taught to our children in school, or the lack thereof?

Many beleive that teaching children abstiance is the way, the only way, and everything else is playing dice with chemicals. Others say that properly educated children informed for not only abstianace, but also personal responsibility, contriceptives, and understanding of the remifications of sexual behavior would provide a better well rounded understanding and ability to choose their own sexual path.

what do you think about how children should be taught? at what age? in the school or in the home? and what should sex be taught as? As a negative -something to steer clear of and avoided till 'grown up'- or a positive -something wonderful, natural, but not without its ups, downs, and risks?
