Social liberals in the country�s �blue states� tend to support sex education and are not particularly troubled by the idea that many teen-agers have sex before marriage, but would regard a teen-age daughter�s pregnancy as devastating news. And the social conservatives in �red states� generally advocate abstinence-only education and denounce sex before marriage, but are relatively unruffled if a teen-ager becomes pregnant, as long as she doesn�t choose to have an abortion.

A handful of social scientists and family-law scholars have recently begun looking closely at this split.


Interestingness ensues.

Sarah Palin certainly changed that rule. I certainly don't think it was like that before this election for the social conservatives.

All pubescent boys should have vasectomies to be reversed by request after marriage or other sperm extraction methods may be applied upon request.

Problem solved.
