Hmmm... my daughter, not being an adult, is not going to get parental permission for any IUD or inserted BC device
Yeah, see this is what I was talking about. Unless you live in Texas or Utah, your daughter, not being an adult, can most likely consent for her own contraception without you, especially barrier contraception. And guess what? Your daughter REALLY does not want to sit in a doctor's office with mom and dad to have that talk. It is however a good way to make her feel uncomfortable, but you're too busy being controlling to take her feelings into consideration.
and since i have used condoms on a regular basis for about 30 motherfucking years, and I have the ability to do my research into testing like any logical person can, I can make informed decisions about condoms to talk to her if necessary....
So because you used condoms, you know data on break rates from large controlled studies? Interesting. Oh I see the second part to your sentence: because you can use the internet just like your daughter, you think you are better suited to telling her what to do. Hey you know what you should do to REALLY embarrass her? Be "that parent" who sits in the back of her sex ed class and letting all the other kids know you're her dad. Oh too late...
As far as I'm aware, schools DON'T go over what is right or wrong in personal sexual choices. They educate students on options and proper technique uses, and allow them access to barrier contraception. Now if a child wants barrier contraception, why do you think it's a bad thing that they receive it? If desired, they could just go into a pharmacy and purchase them directly, but why not just make it more easily accessible if desired?
False. I'm guessing you have zero graduate degrees related to biology, medicine, or sexual education.
And yet you can't come up with one argument as to why I should care about other kids outside of my own. Let their parents worry about what they are doing and how they can protect themselves or even discourage them from having sex before they are ready.
Because it's those other kids who are knocking up your daughter. That's why. Or did you forget that it takes 2 to horizonal tango? Answer this for me: when your child is about to engage in sex, would it be better to have one or both people in the pair to be knowledgeable and responsible?
Come on people! This is not rocket science here. The reason we have comprehensive sex ed taught in public schools in the first place is because it has been shown to reduce unwanted teen pregnancy, STD, and abortion compared to abstinence only or no sex education at all. In other words: caring for everyone improves the situation.
If you can't be responsible for raising a kid, then you shouldn't have sex.
If you are adult enough to lie down with someone to make a baby, then you are adult enough to raise them on your own.
Oh yeah, this works real well with teenagers. Heat of the moment, a little alcohol involved, hormones raging, and they're going to stop to think about mom getting all preachy. Are you delirious?! Oblivious?! You tell me, as you clearly don't understand how teenagers work. It's people like you who lose touch with the practical world called reality who should not believe their opinion has value.
