“It is essential that preventive coverage for women, including contraception, is available to all women, regardless of what health plan they have or where they work as required by Congress. Providing access to birth control just makes sense.” (Gwen Moore) School is a place of education for subjects not taught at home, so birth control in the school curriculum could open new doors for some kids who choose to be sexually active. Even though abstinence is the only way to be 100% sure you are protected from pregnancy, birth control should be taught in school so that children know from an early age that abstinence is not the only option. because birth control is a surefire way to get lower. it reduces the risk of an unwanted pregnancy and, in doing so, is 99% effective. Since abstinence is the abstention from sexual intercourse until marriage, it is the only 100% sure way to protect yourself from an unwanted pregnancy.

Bennett), "...makes adolescents aware of {sex} and suggests that you are behind the times." Learning about contraception will help children who do not believe in abstinence and who are sexually active, to prevent pregnancy. Some people who choose to be sexually active but abuse different forms of contraceptives lead to unwanted pregnancies and if they had abstained from sex this would not have happened.
