Abstinence Only and Teen Pregnancy
And they do. Trust me, they do.
It has been reported time and time and time again that Abstinence Only education not only fails to prevent sexual activities, it actually puts teens at risk for STDs and pregnancy.
I can't help but think of the Gloucester school now dealing with the large group of teen girls all pregnant. As the birth rates for teens continues to rise we may see more cases similar to this one. Especially when preventing pregnancies is not taken seriously.
The school forbids the distribution of condoms and other contraception without parental consent, a rule that prompted the school's doctor and nurse to resign in protest in May.

However i found it quite curious reading this after reading your post "feminists like men". Couldn't the same logic be applied? that by telling an entire culture of teens that abstaining simply isnt an option we are effectively conducing them into teen sex?
Accepting that sometimes teens have sex and instead of telling them not to and just being ignored you should teach them how to do so safely is far from the same as telling them that abstinence is not an option.
