HART: Less sex — blame Libertarians
"
The CDC reported a sharp drop in the number of teenagers having sex. About 44 percent of teenage girls admitted to it, down from 51 percent in 1988, the good ole Clinton years.
Those who are having sex are using protection; teen births have plummeted 57 percent in the last 30 years. The popularity of the “morning-after pill” among women has doubled. They are also working on a morning-after pill for men — it changes your cell number the next morning.
Like most boys my age, I learned about sex the traditional way: trial and error. More credible information on the Internet and sex education in schools must be the reason for this good news. We Libertarians split with the social conservatives on this, and on their “abstinence only” approach. Consensual, educated and safe is the best way to go about sex, not ignorant and scared with hormones raging. Kids need facts from parents, educators and physicians, not judgment, scare tactics or guilt. An educated consumer of anything makes the product better; sex is no different.
In reverse Darwinism, smart kids are using birth control, the dumb ones are not. The result, too many kids are being born out of wedlock and in poverty who become government dependent. Democrats depend on this; it’s called their core voting block. That’s why they have no interest in making things better. Self-sufficient and smart folks do not vote for Democrats. Government perpetuates this by providing lavish social services and making the old “safety net,” into a safety hammock."
