A Canadian teen shoots straight about sex
A Canadian teenager speaks passionately about contraception: “Fact: Despite a girl at my school being taught about every contraceptive measure you can dream of by both the school and her parents, being told strongly about using them, her and her boyfriend have still had pregnancy scares. Why? Because despite being specifically told this – despite being SPECIFICALLY educated on this subject – and by the way, our education system actually makes us properly apply condoms on wooden you-know-whats, so you can’t call me out on us not having “proper” education – she is just “too lazy” to follow through with it. That’s a teenager for you (and I won’t lie; in other respects, I’m pretty lazy myself). The girl already knows what’s best for her about these issues. Does this stop her from having sex with her boyfriend every other day (often not bothering to use a condom) and smoking marijuana? No.”
She’s just getting warmed up. Keep reading for some eye-opening insights …
Abstinence adversaries vent
“This is a perfect story to share, it illustrates every point I’d like to make. A 13 year old girl having sex behind her parents back will obviously not have had an open discussion about birth control with them. Someone who gets pregnant while on the pill and using condoms is not using either correctly. I used condoms for almost 20 years with no problems, and then got pregnant within two months of trying for a child. You cannot sell these lies and expect to be taken seriously.”
Read MoreAnger at abstinence
The thought of abstinence riles up folks. Quiner’s Diner reader, Olivia, was upset with the subject matter:
“Why is birth control the focus of your article? If your point is that young people are so morally depraved, how will keeping birth control away from them change anything? It won’t teach them morals – that takes actual thinking.”
Did you hear about the teacher who had sex in the closet twice in one day?
“Did you see the front page of the newspaper?”
I was enjoying morning coffee with my wife. We were reading the newspaper. Having finished the main news section, the Metro Iowa section, and the Sports page, I turned to my favorite section, the comics.
As I chuckled over “Rhymes with Orange,” I noticed Karen was glancing at the front page.
“Are you reading the article about the school teacher who was forced to resign for having sex with a staffer in the closet of his classroom?”
True or false: the time has come to normalize sin
When is the Catholic Church going to BEGIN talking about abortion, contraception, and homosexual sin?
I pose this provocative question in light of Pope Francis’ concern that the Church has become too focused on these issues at the expense of a more positive, radiant message of the Gospels …
Abstinence vs. contraception
The results were shocking. A study titled “Family Planning Perspectives” revealed the unreliability of contraception in preventing teen pregnancies.
Read MoreA devoted Catholic publicly defends his faith
In the Sunday, February 10, 2013 edition of the Des Moines Register, an “84-year old regular
churchgoing Catholic” incorrectly concludes that the Catholic Church’s ban on artificial contraception is at least partly responsible for poverty, hunger, and disease. On this faulty premise, he concludes that that the Church’s position is morally wrong.
A serious question for modern women
Joe Biden thinks you are stupid
This weekend, Vice President Biden stated on Face the Nation that Republicans want to take away “the right of women to decide for themselves, whether or not they want to use contraception.” Of course, that statement is nonsense. Even more, it is a lie. And Bob Schieffer let him get away with it …
