"Yes, they DO

But SHOULD THEY?

Are you one of those people who throws her hands up in the air and says
they're going to get laid anyway, just make sure they use protection?"
 
I have no objection to any consenting adult getting laid, and I hope of course that they use protection.
 
If they are enjoying themselves and no one else gets hurt it's none of my business to tell them not to.

"Reminds me of parents who let their kids have kegger parties in the house
since of course they're going to do it anyway."
 
This is a false analogy between sex and alcohol.
I don't think premarital sex is wrong for consenting adults, period. So I guess we are not going to agree about this one, ever. And for that reason we should not argue about it anymore on or off list.

Jim:
Think for a moment how many unwanted pregnancies would be eliminated in a
moment if everyone kept calm until the connubials...and then when you look
at the problem of sexually transmitted diseases.

Nancy: 
So this assumes that all married couples want babies when ever they
copulate?

Jim:
No.  I said "think for a moment how many unwanted pregnancies would be
eliminated..."

In other words, how much of the problem would be diminished.

I don't see how you got anything else from what I said.

Nancy:
All pregancies in marriage are wanted?

Jim:
Never said that either.

Again, my words were emphasizing the reduction in a problem, not the
elimination of it.

Nancy:
Think of how many unwanted pregnancies, STDs and abortions would not take
place if religious conservatives would stop blocking access to
contraception, sex education and other services for teens and adults.

Jim:
Different topic, and I don't necessarily disagree with you.

Nancy: 
Most people have sex before they marry. 

Jim:
Yes, they DO

But SHOULD THEY?

Are you one of those people who throws her hands up in the air and says
they're going to get laid anyway, just make sure they use protection?

Reminds me of parents who let their kids have kegger parties in the house
since of course they're going to do it anyway.

Nancy:
I actually think we should give up on that too. We allow people to abuse 
themselves with cigarettes and alcohol - ridiculuous. If a person wants to
do all manner of drug, and does not get behind the wheel of a car, or
tractor, or
airplane, it's none of my business, none of the government's, etc.

Jim:
I'm sorry, I happen to think the welfare of someone else IS my business.
