Will this be on the final exam?: Anti-choice rant suggests schools are teaching kids to engage in cheap, meaningless sex.
News reports about South Dakota’s recent ban on abortions continue to stir up both sides of the abortion debate. Some anti-choicers are celebrating South Dakota’s policy as a move away from insidious things like the freedom to choose to use contraception and the right to objective, non-judgmental, medically-accurate education about sexual health and sexual choices.
While I believe strongly that individuals have a right to decide whether or not to become parents, I appreciate that some of the arguments against reproductive health choices are very deeply felt and that some are even compelling. However, I often find that the loudest voices from the anti-choice movement often have a ring of lunacy to them, using arguments that are baseless.
Recently, one anti-choice blogger, in discussing comprehensive sexuality education wrote:
It's called "sexuality education" which should include an honest explanation of God's meaning for human sexuality based on how we are created, but the Planned Parenthood, SIECUS and others have twisted its meaning so that everyone now thinks it means instructions on how to have sex with no strings attached, as often as you'd like, with anyone or no one. That is not what sex is, and when kids are taught that in schools, that's not only a perversion of human sexuality, but a perversion of education itself.
Now maybe I’m just out of touch with what’s happening in schools these days, but is there really a class out there that is giving kids “instructions on how to have sex with no strings attached, as often as you'd like, with anyone or no one?” I would argue that no school, not even Rock’n’Roll High School, is teaching a class like that.
And how exactly would you teach a teen to have meaningless sex, all the time, with no one? Masturbation, itself, requires some level of commitment – I mean you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life!
