Claiming that I "will not allow the teaching of abstinence" is stupid.
Alias, as usual, is not reading what he is responding to.

2) As I pointed out in a study that Alias probably also never bothered to read, there are a variety of locations that have attempted abstinence only programs. They "really aren't working either" if we judge "working" by the capability to prevent any teen-age pregnancies.

3) Neither teaching abstinence only nor a diverse teaching approach will result in NO teen-age pregnancies.
As such, the rational approach is to figure out which solution is better.
It should be obvious, if you actually look at the studies presented, that abstinence only programs ARE NOT the best way to go, and the best program includes a variety of methodologies including a discussion on abstinence."
