Sure you are. You are putting "keeping parents in the loop" at a higher priority than reducing teen births. What do you think is worse for the parent/teen/baby.... parents "getting in the loop" by finding out their kid is/got somebody pregnant, or parents "staying in the dark" on their kids having sex, just as they are for a large majority of things in their teenager's lives?
:ehh: I am considering it a higher priority than accelerating the decline, yes. If teen pregnancies were trending upwards, I would feel differently about it.

I just think under current conditions we should avoid sidestepping parents as much as possible, and if anything, we should be removing some of the burden from the state, and placing it back on parents.

Many parents advocate the wrong choices when it comes to teen sex. And lol @ taking the burden away from the state. What costs more. Birth control pills, or a kid born to a teen with a high chance of ending up on public assistance or tangled up in the PIC? "Keeping parents in the loop" is not worth the millions of dollars kids born to less than ideal conditions cost society. And parents shoulder a lot of the burden of teen babies as well... again I think most parents would rather be "out of the loop" than end up with another mouth to feed.

trends upward in this sense are indicative of bad policies.

GOOD policies led to GOOD outcomes. You don't just get rid of that dummy :stopitslime:

You can't have it both ways. NOT having available BC leads to the SOCIAL problem of more unwanted and further uncared for kids i.e. MORE WELFARE.

:yeshrug:Whatever, I'm glad rates are down.

If marginalizing parents in the name of the "greater good" is the name of the game, then so be it.

You're not marginalizing ANYONE dumbass.

You don't need your parents permission to buy condoms, so why should girls need one to get birth control if they're of age for it not to fukk with their development?

Nah not he's just one of those cats who.argues their narrative to death, no matter how much logic they have to throw out the window to.connect the dots.... But I at least give him props because duke has a tendency to.concede once his narrative is shot down...
