I find it so hard to understand why Ms Talvi is so afraid of providing kids with a message that research supports as the best choice for them. The problem of STDs and pregnancy isn't that kids didn't use a condom the problem is that kids are having sex.

Scott wrote, “a woman can do with her body as she wishes” I agree but what if the woman is still a fetus?
