Re: “Reducing teen pregnancy rates,” by Terry Goltz Greenberg, Saturday Letters.
This letter about giving teens free long-term contraception sure sounds like a good idea, until a teen comes home with the symptoms of HPV, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, chlamydia or one of the dozens of other sexually transmitted diseases.
Some are curable, some are not.
Then old-fashioned waiting until marriage to have sex suddenly seems like a better idea.
