If you have a daughter, get her on the pills if she wants to have sex with her boyfriend. If your kid trusts you he/she will tell. I did. Most of my friends did. I had best sexual education in the world because my dad is a fucking professional and I knew everything about protection, its pros and cons long before I had sex.
If you have a son it's even simplier. Make sure he tells you about his personal life as much as it's comfortable for him to say and he will know that he has to get his GF on the pills or use condoms.
It's really fucking simple. The sooner your kid starts his sexual life, the better. More practice, less frustration, more satisfaction from life. It's XXI century, you don't have to live like a monk.
Day after pills are dangerous and should be last resort. Abortion is BS. If it's gonna kill mother od child is sick and gonna live a miserable life then go for it. Other than that you have to pay the price. Why? I don't have any rational arguments. It just sickens me to the stomach.
My son is 15 and ever since he has been able to understand, the one thing me and his mother (step) have instilled that best way to stay out of trouble is to teach abstinence. Except for this year, he has always gone to a Christian school where abstinence is taught. Does this insure it won't happen? Of course not, but odds are it will not. Now that he's in a public school with 3000 students as opposed to 660, the odds of temptation are greater, of course. But as long as it was INSTILLED at a younger age, he knows what the life consequences are if he does get a girl pregnant and he also knows and agrees that abortion is NOT an option.
Unfortunately, most public schools do not teach this but rather teach the alternative which is to protect yourself. If you're going to teach one you should teach the other. Period. IMO, this is giving up on the kid by thinking that the biological outcome is inevitable and sex is automatically going to happen no matter what, nothing could be further from the truth despite what some of the psychological studies suggest.
No one asking a kid to live like a monk, all we're asking them to be responsible and keep in their pants. Most of the kids I know, including my son, are bogged down with too much other bullshit anyway. Example, my kids schedule goes like this, School, out of school by 1:30, 1:40-5:00 is baseball practice and games twice during the week, 6-8:00pm is training and rehab, 8:30-10:30 homework. Weekends, training, hitting, catching practice, time with friends, Sundays, hang out with friends.
