14. Someone should tell her to her face that it's factual that sex-ed in schools

Reduces unwanted teen pregnancies and abortions.

We've had years to study the numbers, and it's pretty conclusively proven at this point.

Course we know how wingnuts like Bimboebert here hate actual facts, logical arguments, critical thinking, etc.

Feel like we're back in the 70's, I remember these arguments back then, which is about when it started in a lot of places.

My parents gave me 'the talk' and the book 'What's Happening to Me?' when I was 8 or 9 years old, and I was never really banned from looking at my stepdad's Playboys as a kid. The Joy of Sex and The Happy Hooker were on the bookshelf.

I knew a LOT before sex ed in school came around, put it like that
