I have to differ with the love the sinner hate the sin folks.

For many years, hundreds of years, certainly in this country public humiliation was enough to keep promiscuity confined to the low lifes where it belongs. Girls refrained from having sex and getting pregnant mostly because of the pressure they were under. What would happen? Their friends would stop being their friends, people would whisper when she passed. Small children would be led away. She would be a pariah. She would be sent away to have her baby that would then be put up for adoption unless her family was gracious enough to claim it as the mother's. The consequences of casual sex were devastating and immediate. They also worked. They worked quite well. Boys would be expelled from school their friend's parents would not longer allow their children to associate with such a bad influence. Entire families were forced to uproot and move away. Sometimes, if they were old enough, they were just pushed into marriage whether they wanted it or not.

Consequences. Not consequences of being loved and coddled through a tough time but serious consesquences. It did more than all the sex ed classes in the world. We should go back to those days, not the compassionate, understanding, enableing that we have today.
