There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

Yes. It should be a multifaceted approach, and increasing sexual education is absolutely a part of that. Good luck getting more funding for education ESPECIALLY if it could be used for sexual education in these red states though.

They preach abstinence and then feign surprise when that’s not what happens.

The sad thing is is that they continue to preach abstinence when they themselves were not abstinent. It's like they are hell bent on making the next generation have to be better than them in order to be allowed to exist.

It's fucking stupid. We are not smarter than our parents. We just have more fucking information available than they did.
