This is a nonsense slippery slope fallacy, with a healthy side of the naturalism fallacy. Giving people access to contraception is proven over and over again to be the solution to STDs and unwanted pregnancy, and the "natural" methods of abstinence education and the rhythm method prove over and over to be ineffective. (If you have religious convictions such that the rhythm method is the only one acceptable to you, that's fine, live out your convictions, but it is what it is and it's not a prescription for society at large. A friend of mine once told me about going to a rhythm method workshop, taught by someone with 12 kids.)> But when that contraception isn't readily available at hand, they're going ahead anyway.
They have been doing it anyway since the dawn of time, whether they ever had access to contraception or not. Sex is normal and healthy. The solution is to give them ready access to contraception.
