Don't push abstinence-only on others. If you want your children getting pregnant as teens, fine for you but don't impose your personal failed ideologies on others.

There aren't many people, even among Conservatives, these days pushing abstinence only, so I think it's kind of a moot point unless your only real objective is to mock conservative values.

But if those who do advocate abstinence are denying reality... (a concept that I don't necessarily disagree with) ...then those who scoff at abstinence are denying morality and biology.

Sex can't be denied or defeated, too powerful. Teens should be taught more than abstinence.

The same people who claim their religious liberties are at stake, have imposed plenty of their good clean living on others. Yes, it was conservatives and the religious right who fought, and still are, for abstinence- only to be taught to our teens.

Teenage single mothers go on welfare....therefore conservatives should support safe sex education as a means of reducing spending.

Like I said, not much point in posting it.

I don't disagree with what your saying about abstinence only being unrealistic, I just know your motive for posting it is to mock the beliefs and values of others.

Anyone who agrees with you is not likely to teach or preach abstinence only anyways.

What should be taught is........abstinence is the one and only way you can assure yourself to not get pregnant or a STD.....if you are unable to do this, these are the options and the risks associated with them.........
