I will say one of the most amusingly traumatic aspects of my Catholic school upbringings was being junior high age and having a very vague understanding of what actual sex was, but having an in-depth understanding (with accompanying slide shows) of the ways abortions are performed and what the absolute most gruesome STDs look like.
Also, don't kids tend to not like things their parents drag them do? If my parents told me to shut off the Nintendo or that I couldn't hang around with my friends because we had to go as a family to hold signs outside of an abortion clinic, I would have probably resented this pro-life agenda just because it's lame-o parent stuff and cutting into my precious time away from STD slide shows at school.
