Re:  Requests for contraception education instead of just sex education.

In fact, a major aspect of most sex education programs IS contraception educa-
tion - and it is the portion most objected to by conservatives, since they
view it as effectively "giving permission" for sex.

If you think contraception education is important - would you support distri-
bution of contraceptives to, say, high school kids who choose not to use
"abstention" as their birth-control technique?  That's the logical conclusion
of your argument - and few conservatives - the people objecting to sex education
- would go along with you.
