exactly there has been much debate based on religion and on science...what i stated was my belief.

Easier access to contraceptives would also help, but it seems to be somewhat taboo in Lebanon in some places. This worries me alot actually. We don;t have a high rate of sexually transmitted diseases in Lebanon, but we will get there if we aren't careful...lol...i'm intereseted in being a doctor..can u tell;)...sorry if i went into a lecture there...can't help it:) |
They might not educate people enough about sex educaion in Lebanon because as you said it seems taboo..however in other countries such as the USA, let me tell you that this is a very open subject that everyone talk about publicly and openly.. people get educated on this and learn ways to prevent pregnancies such as birth control, pills, etc.... an i agree that defenetely young women should be careful..however I remain pro choice and i really strongly believe that a woman should control her body based on whatever she believes is best for her and her life because as you said, "we arent talking about adopting a pet here"...
