   WE HAVE GOT TO STOP UNPLANNED PREGNANCY - WITHOUT ABSTINENCE!   
      
   Telling teens not to have sex, is like telling married couples not to have sex   
   -   
   just because _you_ think it's better.  Would *you* listen?  I WOULDN'T LISTEN.   
   I'M   
   NOT LISTENING TO ABSTINENCE, I'M LISTENING TO BIRTH CONTROL.  Married couples   
   are   
   at just as great a risk of unplanned pregnancy, when they don't want to have a   
   child, as teens, and the average married couple has sex twice per week.  It's   
   just   
   the potential cost, that will be experienced, if that accident occurs, that is   
   greater for teens.  Females are fertile 50% of the month.  Males are fertile   
   100%   
   of the month.   
      
   There is a 50% chance of getting pregnant tonight, without birth control.  (I   
   like   
   to round that up to 100%).   
   There is a 100% chance of getting pregnant in 1 year with *only* the pull-out   
   method.   
   There is a 100% chance of getting pregnant in 5-6 years with *only* condoms.   
   There is a 100% chance of getting pregnant in 10 years with hormonal birth   
   control   
   alone.   
   There is a <1%-<100% chance of getting pregnant in 100 years, with 2 different   
   concurrent birth control methods.   
   There is a 0% chance of getting pregnant in 100 years with 3 different   
   concurrent   
   birth control methods.   
      
   EXPLAIN TO TEENS, ALWAYS USE AT LEAST 2 DIFFERENT BIRTH CONTROL METHODS   
   TOGETHER,   
   OR YOU WILL GET PREGNANT:   
      THE CONDOM; WITH A BARRIER METHOD - EITHER THE SPONGE OR DIAPHRAGM; AND/OR   
   WITH   
   EITHER HORMONAL, OR RHYTHM; FOR FEMALES.   
      THE CONDOM; WITH THE PULL OUT METHOD; FOR MALES.   
      
   TEENS SHOULD HAVE SEX IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR OWN FULL, QUEEN, OR KING SIZED   
   BUNK   
   BEDS.  IN THEIR OWN ROOMS, WITH THEIR DOORS LOCKED.   
   AND SEXUALITY IS THEIR HUMAN RIGHT.   
      
   And keep semen out of orifices for greater protection against pregnancy, and   
   some   
   sexually transmitted diseases.   
      
   Sex is a positive holy religious activity that shouldn't be condemned, but   
   unsafe   
   sex is immoral.   
      
   Regarding abortion; if you do get pregnant, there is no brain in the fetus for   
   the   
   first three months, and probably no ghost either.  People have memories of   
   being   
   in the womb.  These same people have memories of being a ghost and then being   
   in   
   the womb.  _IF_ there is no brain, and no ghost, in the fetus, for the first   
   three   
   months, then not aborting is making the decision to get pregnant.  While   
   obviously   
   the day before the baby is born, it is just two people attached, and somebody's   
   going to die, but, you have a right to detach your body, vs. an ethical   
   requirement to throw someone a rope.  Carrying a baby who eats your body for 6   
   months is more onerous than throwing someone a rope.   
      
   The risk of pregnancy with the hormonal pill by itself, is 1 couple in 12, to 1   
   couple in 300, per year,/per 100 sex acts, (Typical vs. perfect use).  In 10   
   years, that is 1 couple in 1.2, to 1 couple in 30.   
      
   An entire 50% of all unplanned pregnancies, occur in people who use only 1   
   method   
   of birth control at a time.
