Kentucky had the nation's highest birth rate among white teenagers, leading the legislature to pass a law requiring sex education with an emphasis on abstinence throughout primary and secondary school. Mrs. Prather and Mr. Brock engage in an energetic debate on a subject of interest far beyond Kentucky's borders. HSP: "As educators we don't just list positive things. We need to give students both sides of the

picture, not just the methods that we prefer ... Abortion is here. They have to be taught to deal with it...." JB: "I'm saying that if we list [abortion] as an alternative to an unwanted pregnancy, that, to some youngsters, would send a confused signal: that if it is an alternative, and if our teachers are telling us it's an alternative, then it's something we can consider doing."
