But do you know how to teach the effectiveness of these methods in an inclusive way? Do you know what actually works? We all like our options, can you name everything currently available? Would you like to know?
Wide Open Spaces
There’s nothing to hide or be ashamed of – birth control and abstinence should be a part of everyday conversation and you want to get it out in the open.
