I didn't say sex ed is not lacking.

I also think we need to do a lot more about poverty and guns and illiteracy. However none of those things should stop us from having laws against murder.

Same with sex ed. All those things you say may be as true as could be, but they needn't stop us from having laws one way or the other about abortions.

You can't say we can't address issue A until we've addressed seven other issues first to your particular satisfaction. That's just not reasonable.

You can't say I refuse to entertain the idea of having a law against murder until there are no more young people growing up in broken homes. That's just not reasonable.

Same with someone saying we can't make laws against abortion until students are properly educated and thoroughly use contraceptives.

They are two different issues.

If abortion is killing a human being, then except in rare circumstances, it should be illegal, whether the person had strawberry jam on his condom or not.
