text: can you conservative please explain why teaching kids birth control vice abstainence is wrong? or better yet, can't we teach them both?  really, i want to know why teaching sex ed is so "evil". i'm a conservative.....  and i think teaching kids all about abstinance and birth control is all good. i think they also need to know about all choices in the event they end up pregnant as well.  not all conservatives are christian extremists....  at some point we have to all set aside political differences and do things that make sense...
