I completely understand, but its just that even if religion wins and prevents the BC from being available, it still wouldn't stop a child from being sexually active...

As for when to open the flood gates? I would say its safe to start to slowly open them when they have their drivers license. And by slowly I mean slow enough that they can learn and deal with responsibly the new situations and choices they are faced with.
