Sex ed should be seen as a valued subject in schools. Sex is a natural thing that occurs between species that engage in sexual reproduction. It shouldn’t be seen as something to be embarrassed by or be ashamed of.

Sex ed helps young people understand their bodies, as well as the bodies of others. It enables them to protect themselves by providing them with useful information about their own anatomy. It teaches them what to look out for so that they don’t get things like: unwanted pregnancies (which may lead to abortion), STDs/STIs, unfulfilling sexual relationships, etc.

Yet, a majority of pro-lifers are against sex education. They view it as something that should only be taught at home. Despite the fact some people’s parents wouldn’t teach it at all or should teach it properly.

Lack of sex ed puts people in many different kinds of danger. It’s something that needs to be discussed more.

For almost two centuries, the moniker “abortionist” has branded those who help terminate pregnancies as illegitimate, dangerous, &, in turn, allowable targets of violence. Before Roe v. Wade, the label turned midwives and doctors into criminals to be cracked down on by the state. After the 1973 decision, right-wing movements continued to deploy the term to ....

“[A] new analysis by Bloomberg has found the [Google Maps] platform routinely misleads people searching for abortion providers and clinics. When users search the words “abortion clinic” in Google Maps, nearly a quarter of the top 10 search results, on average and across all 50 states including Washington D.C., belong to crisis pregnancy centers. Crisis pregnancy centers, or CPCs, are a type of non-medical organizations with a mission to encourage women to go through with their unwanted pregnancies…”

Gene editing's a blessing and curse
It can provide blessings or make things much worse
We should hope the two don't collide
And that's the way that human health will survive
For profit and values can not coincide
For our health must prevail and abide
