This op-ed against teen condom distribution is a load of horseshit and makes me mad.
The writer seems to be equating teen sex with "alcohol use, racism, sexism, homophobia, guns, bullying, or, God forbid, climate change." What a Victorian, negative, Judeo-Christian sex-is-evil, sex-is-sin attitude. At least this author doesn't seem to be clearly making an argument for abstinence-only education, which is about the most obviously retarded thing known to mankind.
His evidence? Massachusetts law: "Sexual intercourse and sodomy with a person under 16 is criminal in Massachusetts. Consent is not a defense; a victim that young is conclusively presumed to be incapable of giving it." Ah, right, law as morality, as passed by old white men in the 1800s. Lovely.
