i don't really know how i feel about this

i do NOT believe a morning after pill should be used as a regular birth control method. that much is sure. however i also don't believe most (if not all) 15 and 16 and 17 year olds are equipped to be parents. if they were afforded the PROPER EDUCATION on birth control IN THE FIRST PLACE, i think most of this would be moot. they would be (if they decided to have sex) taking the proper precautions to begin with. teaching birth control and safe sex is NOT preaching to young 'uns to have sex. it is saying, if you DO have sex........................please take the proper care. in an earlier posting i listed some links to stories dealing with this and the preaching of abstinance (which we all know does NOT work).
