Don't want to be pregnant? Stop sleeping around

While this is a great stance to take, this isn't realistic either.

Better thing to do would be to better educate, be supportive, and not ostracize birth control and contraceptives, not just place it all on the women. Men are just as much to blame. As they say: it takes two to tango.

While I don't want my daughter to have sex before she's ready to have a baby, the reality is she will. She already knows to come to us, and already knows that we don't want it to happen until she's ready. We've been open about expectations, but we're also not naive. We'll keep condoms in the house and will get her birth control when she's "ready". We're not going to judge, we'll just be ready to support and coach.

Or we can just ban intercourse for everyone under a certain age, under a certain income, and who don't pass rigorous psychological screening. This makes more sense to me than just banning the outcome of a bad choice.

Fix the process, don't punish the end result.
