[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I don't want my kid to me a mom as an undergraduate. Schools like Washington University are totally out now that Missouri is criminalizing abortions for people who become pregnant in Missouri regardless of where the procedure is preformed. [/quote]

Maybe tell her not to sleep around?[/quote]
+1. It’s like they are expecting their daughters to get pregnant and that it’s routine. [/quote]

Oh, right, your perfect children won’t have sex until marriage, right?

I was a good responsible girl and top student. Didn’t stop me from having sex with my HS boyfriend at 16. Doesn’t make me a slut - makes me a completely normal human. I took precautions - we used 2 forms of protection. So I was a sexually responsible human teen.

If you think your college students aren’t having sex, I have a bridge to sell you[/quote]

If you think all college girls get pregnant, I have a bigger bridge to sell you. If you think birth control and condoms are a made up invention, I’ve got a second bridge to sell you. [/quote]

Nowhere did I say any of that

I specifically said I was using 2 forms of birth control at 16. I believe in birth control and std protection.

Not all teens are that responsible. And you can preach abstinence all you want - most of them will have sex before college is over. And, even if they use protection, none of those are 100% effective

Do I think every girl having sex in college gets pregnant? No. But I also don’t want to lose my child because something did happen and the state she is in doesn’t allow a life saving operation in worst case scenario

Teach your kids about safe sex, obviously, and feel free to tell them that the only truly safe sex is no sex (they probably won’t listen, but sure, say it). Maybe arm them with mace and/or teach them self defense in case she is attacked.

But stop being naive - things do happen no matter how well you think you parented them and/or how responsible they might be.
