Change expectations and change the law. Make it so anyone (not just girls) can get free contraception. Kids should know that when they start having sex that it's their job to cover the contraception base, whether that's asking parents to provide contraceptives or getting them from elsewhere.
I will be teaching my children how to be safe, think for themselves, make their own choices, and accept the consequences of their actions. I won't be teaching my children abstinence or any other absolutist approach to life.
