    Yes, but are the schools going to regulate who takes the condoms and make sure they are of legal age to participate? I think no, so in actuality is would be like providing needles to the addict.

    Ok

    First, I don't agree with the HS helping the daughter arrange an abortion. That is most certainly something that the parents should be informed about. So you can stop lumping this in with the condoms at school thing since it is not a common occurrence.

    And the school is not making any decision to these students by providing condoms. The students themselves are still making the decision to take the condom and use the condom. The school is being neutral by just offering. If you want them, cool, if not, cool.

    not even close to the same thing

    If ever there was a topic that people were going to argue about and no one changing the mind of someone arguing the other side...this is it!

    Lets just say they do restrict it to students of age, would you still be against it?

    True...but I personally still don't get what this justifies?

    Some people don't. However, I'm sorry to tell ya if sex is the crux of a marriage for failing that is 100% not the issue at it's heart. Sex by design and done as designed in my opinion can be nothing but amazing when done within the confines of marriage and proper purpose. In my opinion I think two people who love each other in it's most truest form that wait, will not have "bad" sex. As a matter of fact I think they have the best sex.

    Well, I think my argument against is pretty much says that I would be against it because it is not what the school is there to do.

    My kid likes to do a lot of things. She likes to run, but their not giving her shoes. She likes to play the trumpet, but they didn't give her a trumpet. She likes to play games on the computer, but they didn't give her a computer. Why should the be giving her condoms when she decides she likes to ****.(god help me)

    My HS bought my basketball shoes....

    Plenty of HS loan out iPads...

    and I, for the life of me, still cannot understand why someone would be against this? If it helps just one more unwanted child being brought into this world, then it did its job.

    If you did your part as a parent and raised your child how you think she should be raised, you will not have to worry about her taking condoms at school. It's that simple.

    It's because we have a fundamental difference in the role we feel our government should play in our daily lives. I don't believe that we can continue down the path we are on, one that is becoming more and more reliant on the government to take care of and protect us from ourselves. The bigger big brother gets, the less and less freedoms we have to live the way we want and to raise our children the way we want. If you want your kid to have condoms, give them some, explain to them why you are giving them the condoms. Tell them that when the decided to have sex, use them! We don't need the schools for this.

    Even if only one is...still feel the same. I know and have worked with countless youth over the years that have been on both sides of those marriages years after working with them.

    LOL

    I promise you, I'm about as small government as they come. (aren't you and Tony anti gay marriage and legalization of weed?) And in no way, is the school providing condoms for students that choose to take them an example of the government intruding on our lives. That is absurd.

    You see that is the issue. I will do that. How many kids out there don't get the same thing for their parents? Don't get the same sex education from their parents or guardians?

    You don't want the government handing out condoms, but you want more teenage kids to have kids, not finish school because they have a kid now and inevitably, have to rely on the government for the rest of their lives.
