And how is abstinence-only sex education unfair?
For all intents and purposes I'll say that the birth rate stagnated at that time.

Abstinence-only sex ed only gives one side of the story. The one they'd rather have us choose. But because, obviously, everyone will NOT choose that, if someone is uneducated about birth control then the schools are not doing much to prevent teen pregnancy.
