Soooo the "talk" is about abstaining and the responsibilities resulting from not abstaining, then, after all that, the "walk" is to hand out, NO!, not CONDOMS, but the woops we did it and regret it pill, saying to the kids. "we know you're not going to listen to plan "A, so here's some plan b". Lovely message.

Its not your body, who cares?
Nothing is going to stop children from having sex. You know that you had sex young, so why cant your kids do the same? The answer is to provide them with contraceptives. Its much cheaper and much easier to do now, in 2012, than say 40 years ago. Even 10 years ago.
