[QUOTE="witzend, post: 585382, member: 99"] So long as we keep pushing abstinence education, there are going to be unplanned pregnancies. If you want to terrify yourself, watch "Daddy, I Do". FWIW, a study published two years ago in [I]Pediatrics[/I] showed that just five years after making a so-called "purity pledge" -- which is how the effectiveness of many abstinence-only programs are gauged -- 82 percent of teens denied having even made the pledge at all, and the age at which they first had sex was the same as those who hadn't taken the pledge. I honest to god don't know how we got so far backwards in my lifetime. [/QUOTE]
