Abstinence & contraception education programmes

Imagine that parents taught children to form healthy relationships
with this line of reasoning: The best relationships call for honesty, generosity and mutual respect. Your chances of finding happiness, security and fulfillment in such relationships are very high; however, they require you to exercise self-restraint.

Since you're probably not capable of self-restraint, here are numerous ways to form relationships in which you and another person consent to
use one another for your own selfish benefit. These relationships require you to take careful precautions to ensure your well-being, but they are just as acceptable as the first kind and much more common.

Choose whichever you feel is best.

It may not make sense, but this is precisely how proponents of comprehensive sex education expect to teach young people to form healthy sexual relationships.

Thanks for posting that, Antonia, just what I needed to see in the midst of the ongoing abortion/contraception debate I'm having on another blog. Very messy, very weird. Thanks for posting this, it gives me hope to know that not everybody sees chastity and love of life as impossible.
