My interlocutor was claiming that 11 year olds aren't capable of understanding pregnancy or how they've become pregnant. Context being
this.
Most kids aren't so remedial that they wouldn't understand how they've become pregnant. They would also understand pregnancy on an intellectual or cognitive level.
11 year olds are, however, emotionally and physically immature and incapable of taking life changing decisions independently. They are also more impulsive, will take more risks and less able to factor in the long term consequences of their acts.
Which is why they shouldn't be allowed to take puberty blockers/cross sex hormones or socially transition. They've never experienced life as a sexually mature adult.
The same applies to underage sex. Kids cannot consent and shouldn't be encouraged, enabled or coerced into sex, precisely because they are emotionally and often physically, ill equipped to handle the consequences.
The sort of liberal who wants to scream at me over pro-life views would also scream that the only way to stop kids getting pregnant is to immerse them in explicit sex ed, chuck condoms at them, inject them with hormonal contraceptives and make sure they know how to get an abortion when their contraception fails.
And who stands to make money when it comes to gender ideology and getting children having sex as early as possible? Lobby groups who want to provide the teaching and resources, pharma and abortion centres; it's no coincidence Planned Parenthood are in on the gender ideology grift. Or pedophiles, natch.
We teach the facts of life to children in primary school. Of course they know how to make babies. There's a difference between recognising they don't have adult maturity and infantilising them.
I'm not arguing for an abstinence only approach either. Kids need age appropriate information. You can't stick your heads in the sand.
Not that kids are having much fun these days. There's no time to sneak a crafty cigarette, underage drink or snog at the bus shelter, when your head is permanently in your phone on Tik Tok or playing Minecraft Skyrim or whatever your games console or worse still, watching someone else play it on YouTube.
Top hats & puzzle pieces incoming.
