CNN just featured the article.

This particular publication does not have the article on the site, so I will defer to others for the text..

Nothing new. When I was eleven (about twenty years ago), I picked up a copy of Seventeen and read an article discussing abortion, and the pro-life and pro-choice opinions. I remember it very clearly b/c it was that article that convinced me pro-life was the only logical choice.

The webiste has a 'sex& body' section, which is on overload so you can't get to the article.

Maybe we can look forward to some follow up articles such as:

'How to tell your Mother that everyone at school thinks you are a slut'

'How to tell your Mother that you don't understand why your boyfriend said that he loved you and then dumped you after you gave it up and he gave you herpies'

'How to tell your Mother you murdered your unborn baby and that your Guidance Councilor drove you across State lines to have it done'

'How to tell your Mother you are dying from AIDS'

'How to tell your Mother that you have no self esteem and that she totally failed to teach you anything but rather shuffled you off to a government school so she could persue her career in order to buy her second Benz and the chalet in Aspen because, obviously, raising children isn't important or fulfulling.'

Well if my underage daughter was having sex, I'd sure like to know about it. This article may not be as bad as many of you think. If a daughter feels open enough with her mother to start a discourse, then that gives the mother a chance to steer her daughter in a new celebate direction. If the kid is too scared to talk, the parents may never find out, and then who knows what else could happen.

Now that's not really true. It is illegal for *adults* to have sex with 12-17 year olds (in most places) but it is not illegal for people in this age bracket to have sex with each other. It happens in highschool relationships across the country every day.

Life "...the only logical choice." Great statement, geaux(Jo?)

Pretty obvious to all of the living, isn't it?

Now, what to do with the 'brain-dead' left, who don't see abortion as an 'act of terror'.

I remember how my girlfriend in high school told her mom. The mother came home from work early and caught us. I was hiding in the closet trying to put my clothes on, while my girlfriend tried to play it cool in bed like she was taking a nap. We would have pulled it off if we had not left the condom wrapper on the floor next to the bed. After she saw the wrapper she told me through the closet door to put my clothes on and leave. It was quite memorable.

Well, you could just do it on MTV, like Daschle's PR man's sister (as reported on another thread here).

These mags have been screaming about sex forever. It is what they do.

"Too many people would scorn them for letting their biological impulse overcome society's tendency to keep people helpless and immature into their 30s....."

Only problem with that is, those following their "biological impulse" are still helpless and immature into their 30s, meaning Grandpa and Grandma raise the babies. Now, if we were telling them to get out of the house and show some responsibility (instead of go have sex and forget about the responsibility) maybe it'd make sense for 16 year olds to be following "biological impulse."

It used to be all sex outside of marriage was punishable under law. That is the way it should be. Only when the leftist communists infiltrated our nation, did they force their immoral attitude on us, that sex is okay as long as it feels good.

The kids that read Seventeen are 12-17 YEARS OLD -It's not legal for them to have sex!! See, it's uninformed nonsense like this that really rankles me. Even a couple minutes' worth of research would've saved you from making an a$$ of yourself.

While it's generally illegal for a 12-year-old to be having sex, it's quite legal in most states for a 17-year-old to have sex. In most states, the age of consent for unmarried people is 16, and as low as 14 in some places. Restrictions are in place in many places preventing teens from having sex with adults more than 5 years older than themselves, but it's otherwise quite legal.

Regards,
Snidely

Dear mom,

You know all those skimpy, body huggging clothes you bought me over the years? Those ones that made me look sexy for the boys? I felt so cool in all of them, they made me part of the in crowd.

You know all the TV you let me watch? The soaps where everyone was sleeping around, and the TV shows where all the cool people were sexually active? I wanted to be just like them. And now, thanks to all your help and moral guidance, I am! Isn't it great mom! I'm sexually active, thanks,

Your child

For most of human history, women bonded and began having chilren by the time they were 15 if not earlier. If they weren't married, they could certainly be expected to keep a home, cook, care for children and livestock, plant crops, etc.

Only in the last century or so have people gone all quivery over the thought of 16 year old girls getting that interested in young men.

Too many people would scorn them for letting their biological impulse overcome society's tendency to keep people helpless and immature into their 30s.....

Check this out. Teen marriage license laws.

geaux as in "go." I live in Louisiana, and a lot of last names end with the "o" sound. We use "eaux" instead of "o." Hence, Boudreaux, Thibideaux, Gautreaux, Guidreaux, etc., etc. Seaux, it's kind of a joke around here to substitute "eaux" where an "o" would geaux everywhere else in the English-speaking world. A lame joke, but it keeps us coon-asses happy.

Do you honestly believe our government should be monitoring whether its citizens have extra-marital sex? I'm not arguing in favor of free love -- but the last thing we need is bigger government....

When her mom sees you with your shirt off, and your back looks like you've been in a fight with a weedeater she starts getting pretty suspicious, too.
