work set up to regulate it. Sex is exactly the same. It has been created by God and it is appropriate and wonderful within marriage. However outside of marriage it is a sin and can carry some serious and indeed lifechanging consequences like pregnancy or HIV. Berry has sought to provide support and help for those who may be experiencing the consequences of bad choices. However our school does not need to provide condoms on campus and doing so would not create a more supportive environment it would create a confusing one. In our lifetimes condoms in schools have become the norm and these have not led to a decrease in abortion rates. They have instead led to a further abdication of personal responsibility. Abstinence is the only way to avoid unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases and by not providing condoms Berry continues to send a consistent message that we do not support sexual activity on campus. If anyone thinks that condoms are inaccessible or extremely expensive I would question their credibility. Condoms are readily available but just as it would be ridiculous to sell ammo on a campus where hunting is not permitted given out condoms here would be hypocritical and irresponsible. Some have said that providing condoms is not an invitation for students on our campus to have sex. While I am sure we all know some guys who would just carry them around in their pockets and show them to their friends, these are guys who just want to show off anyway. I am sure we could find some other uses for condoms, bingo chips, water balloons or even perhaps something to chew on when gum is scarce. Despite all their many other charms we all know, condoms are only designed for one thing.
