Here's some interesting news

....and not very surprising to boot. Evidently, "the pill" isn't a terribly effective contraceptive, especially when given to teens who aren't terribly careful with anything.

What a "shock." Maybe it's time to start teaching the obvious--that there are physical and emotional ramifications to having sex that differentiate it a "wee little bit" from other things we do with our bodies. Maybe it's time to start teaching that using a piece of latex, or a series of pills, does not make it "safe" in any sane definition of the word.

Maybe it's time to really tick off the Planned Infanticide/SIECUS crowd and those who believe that a child is a punishment.
