How about teaching our kids that it is not "alright to just have sex with no protection and with irresponsibility" I was taught that, you were likely taught that too... how did that work out for you? Let's be honest here, it's human nature to begin having sex when your hormones kick in to overdrive and make you want to have sex 24/7. Instead of pretending that abstinence works, let's be realistic -It doesn't. Have you ever known a girl that was brought up in a "traditional environment" that had a child out of wedlock? -I'd be willing to bet everything I own that you do. Maybe if she or the guy that impregnated her were taught to use protection, it may have been avoided.

How about the federal government not being at odds with common sense marriage/relationship tenants that have been around for 8000 years or more? -Can you elaborate on this one? How is the Fed govt at odds with marriage tenants? -Also "common sense" is a subjective thing.

Still my question is "why not reform welfare (we both agree it's broken) and simultaneously provide birth control? One takes care of the long term problem and the other takes care of the immediate".
