Yeah, exactly. If people, after knowing WTF is going on with their bodies looks at their options and decides they want to use contraception (either temporarily, or entirely), then that's their choice. If they instead choose to not use contraception then that's also their choice.
But either way, at least they're able to adapt to whatever is appropriate for their situation!
But the CBCP is afraid that if you give people an option, they'll choose contraception every time, and I think that -- I mean if they want to preach to their congregation, do it via the pulpit, not via the judicial system. Church sermons for churchgoers, government for the people (whether they're Catholics or not!) And no matter your religion, your religion should trust you to be able to practice what they preach, or integrate their teachings into your life (instead of forcing hell'n'damnation down your throat)
My parents never talked to me about sex either *wide grin* We did have some mandatory sex education at my (Catholic!) school, though it was mostly *thinks* getting us to draw anatomy, talk of menstruation, and a list of the names of VDs and their side effects that we had to memorize. Pretty dry stuff.
I learned about sex literally from bad slash (and if that doesn't illustrate how ridiculous the whole thing avoiding sex education is, I just don't know >_>). Also from good slash, and sometimes novels and stuff.
And yeah *snerks* park + night = no sex is completely ridiculous, especially since everyone so far whose commented has had the opposite assocation....
