Cause dipshits make birth control and abortions difficult and expensive

They can't afford contraception either.

The ruling class intentionally undereducates poor people, and part of that is a lack of sexual education.

Perhaps because their religion tells them they have to keep having a babies if they keep having sex.
soMuchHappy
Because it's easier to breed more followers than to convert them, hence expanding your power base. No concern given to what's sustainable
mallywanders
FYI the LDS church is both pro big families and pro using birth control to have the size family you feel is right for you. I say this having

Gotten married in the LDS church within the past year. There's even a little book they have about family planning.
ArdentLeaper
As a religious person, what? I mean even for those who don't like pills because of abortion concerns, there's still condoms
SomeGeographer
I grew up very catholic and my church sex Ed was abstinence only. My Mormon cousins rely on God as their birth control & have 4-11 kids each
LadyWidebottom
Some religions frown on contraception, others subscribe to the "repopulate the earth" line of thought.

neospor1n
my sister in law asserts the only god friendly method is family planning. She is now having another baby because that method failed.
Cheomesh
Family planning is birth control and abortion, though
neospor1n
google "natural family planning" I like to tell her it is still birth control and it gets her in a tizzy.
neospor1n
not in this case. family planning is taking temperature and tracking ovulation cycles and avoiding sex at peak pregnancy timings.
Cheomesh
Oh, that's "Charting" where I'm at."Family Planning" is euphemism for abortion.
isaidsomethingcool
Catholic and Christian dogma believe sex is only for procreation, and other than abstinence, only ovulation monitoring is the 1/
JonestownClassPresident
Stick with Catholic. Most other denominations believe that God made sex to be enjoyed in the realm of marriage. That it is beautiful.
isaidsomethingcool
accepted form of "birth control". Condoms, pills, even withdrawal, or "pulling out" is a sin.
isaidsomethingcool
There are even extreme views in which sex has nothing to do with love, with absolutely no leeway on it other than to procreate.
isaidsomethingcool
Oh, and masturbation for guys is a sin because of all the sperm cells, the potential lives, being "wasted".
the1whoknox
Because there's only one planned parenthood within 500 miles?

So thats not done by gynecologist ? Apart from education.
PunchyFromCleveland
Gynecologists are usually the type of doctor available at PP. I went there for annual Pap smears & birth control at a price I could afford.

And condoms aren't available in literally every gas station? Huh...

It also doesn't help that sex is the only fun that some people can afford to have. Can't afford movies and theme parks, but boning is free.

IProvideFakeContext
Thing I respect about my parents now that Im an adult. Although hardcore Catholics, they never made me feel as if sex was dirty or shameful.
DeusExSpockina
I had a hardcore catholic teacher-in a catholic school!-who was very frank, honest and positive about sex...within the context of marriage.
doctorbees
Which is fine and all, but it's not realistic to expect every kid to wait until marriage.

Nope. But as a non-Catholic, I appreciated the positive view, instead of hyper-negativity and guilt.

Doesn't explain the British ones though. All get sex ed and the Abstinence movement barely exists if at all.
SippyTurtle
Hohoooo! Is funny because she still got pregnant! Oooohohohooo...

No it's not funny. I'm saying she's had multiple pregnancies out of marriage yet gets paid to do speeches encouraging abstinence only sex ed

I love how Abstinence only proponents also typically belief in a virgin birth.

My school didn't have sex Ed. It was a class that didn't exist
Humblecandy
How many people know there's free birth control at clinics? How many people know how to use birth control?
Jollytothegreen
That doesn't mean they exist everywhere or everyone has ideal access. And some sex ed is abstinence only, proven ineffective
LuxFalx
Can confirm, it depends on location. My private Christian highschool didn't teach sex ED. Only abstinence.
caboops
Same, and surprisingly not a single pregnancy in the history of that school.
nanyatenyaa
This... abstinence only is popular in even public schools though research shows its pointless to take that approach...
Kinetica
But but but sexual education and birth control encourage everyone to have sex more and that's bad...
Dedeurmetdebaard
The problem is that I can't read that and know for certain if you are serious or not.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Ha! Sarcasm, you so funny
ohps
Sexual education encourages safe sex. I.e. Knowing about birth control and how to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Nothing bad about that.
mallywanders
And it's ONLY comprehensive sex ed that helps. Abstinence only education has literally 0% improvement on teen pregnancy rates.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
"Here is one of the best feelings you could ever experience as a human. DON'T DO THAT!!!" yup, totally works
mallywanders
Yep. Actually, my sex ed in TX was "here's all the STDs you can and will get if you have sex. Here's all the types of sex that will give you
ThrustingPickle
He was making a joke about parents who don't want sex ed in school I believe.

There's a 5-day window before ovulation (and the day of/day after) where you're most likely to get pregnant. Sperm is viable at least 5 days

No, they legitimately don't. And that's the sad part.
demosthenes89
In actual use they are only 85% effective. That means 15 out of 100 get pregnant in 1 year of use.
demosthenes89
A lot of that is user error (using expired, wrong size) but also things like they break, slip off, etc.
Imnotu
There is a minimal IQ requirement for use, that a lot of people just don't meet. It's sad but true.

If you in a long term relationship you go beyond condoms. IUD, the shot, the patch. Cuz condoms rip

My partner and I ran out of condoms. We didn't have sex until we bought condoms. Condoms aren't that expensive. Much cheaper than a child.
caboops
Careful, people will assume you're conservative if you go around advocating personal responsibility like that.
qwertina
Why would you need to afford condoms? They're free at every clinic!
Nalianna
But you run the risk of some nutjob with a gun, or bomb being there. If only there was a way.

In my sex ed class in Texas they told us not to bother using condoms, 'because they don't work 100% of the time, anyway.'
