I have a violent, violent hatred for anyone who thinks that banning abortions or scaring people about pre-marital sex or banning condoms will stop people from having sex. It won't. What is will do is kill people, especially women.

What really amazes me is how those people manage to call themselves "Christians" while clearly deciding that rules or morals are more important to them than people's lives. As far as I understand Christianity I thought the "primary directive" was the love for other human beings as much as for oneself. But I obviously have not understood properly what it is all about, since it is o.k. to kill with the blessing of God in wars or while practicing the death penalty while it is not o.k. to practice birth control. That makes no sense to me.

I am though in favor of encouraging teenagers to only have sex when they feel comfortable, or even better passionate, about it and not let peer pressure make them do something they are not ready for. And part of the readiness implies for me behaving responsibly and practicing safe sex.
