Somebody get me James Dobson!

The Communists are learning about teh sexx, and the results are... interesting:
The young listener said that he and his girlfriend had experimented sexually the month before, but "both of us wore underwear." He wanted to know what to do. "What if she's pregnant?" he asked. "Will her life be in danger if we have an abortion? Which hospital can guarantee a successful abortion?"...

"Tonight's Whisperings" targets college students but enlightens thousands of younger teenagers who are hard-pressed to find answers to their questions elsewhere. It also worries anxious, tradition-bound parents who believe too much information about sex will corrupt their children.
No kidding. Snark aside, this is an alarming paragraph:
In Shanghai, a hotline for pregnant girls that opened last summer was immediately flooded with calls, including from girls as young as 13, according to the Shanghai Youth Daily. A year later, the hotline has handled 11,000 calls; 47 percent of the cases involved first-time abortions, 35 percent second abortions, and 18 percent of the callers had had three or more abortions....

Girls are too embarrassed to buy condoms and worry that carrying them will ruin their reputations, said Su, the 17-year-old high school student. Boys never think to bring them and don't like to use them, she said.
Here's hoping that Chinese public education can bring in some serious sex ed. Of course, the next step is for Dan Quayle and Pat Buchanan to go to Beijing and yell about the Culture War facing China. Of course, China already had one Cultural Revolution, so the GOP might want to be careful about that...
