Part of the nationwide decline can be attributed to teenage boys having less sex,

How does increasing BC = marginalizing parents and dissolving nuclear families?

If anything it strengthens it, keeping folks from having kids out of wedlock.

How does anyone disagree with this?

Kids will fukk ANYWAYS so if they're not going to be abstinent, the best they can do is prevent themselves from bringing unwanted kids into the picture.

Removing the need for parental consent marginalizes parents.

... and with national rates of teen pregnancy declining across the board already, i don't see the need.

So does kids having sex w/o their parents blessing. Parents are going to be marginalized either way.... I'd rather them be marginalized and not have another teen baby.

The faster we get them down to zero the better.

There is no material downside to letting teens have BC and giving them sex ed. They are going to have sex no matter what. It benefits society to minimalize the consequences.

Dawg, the pregnancies you're taking credit for "going down" are a result of the policies that CO instituted THEMSELVES.

These figures your'e quoting are sourced from the intervention you seem to have a problem with!

Precisely.

@DEAD7 understands the need to decriminalize/legalize many drugs on this SAME principle...yet when it comes to reducing the burden on society of teen pregnancies, he doesn't comprehend the impact

Agreed, i just favor a slower reduction over a govt. induced one.



edit: being marginalized by the state isnt the same as by ones children.
