The slides of STD encrusted genitals were...really motivational. She came home and terrified her brother, as well.
LOL!
It's the unfortunate truth.
Did they get an idea how common stuff like that was among people?
Yeah, my daughter can throw out stats on STD transmission rates like a champ.
Same story, different locale.
Teen Pregnancies Highest In States With Abstinence-Only Policies | ThinkProgress
And who will take the responsibility for the pregnancies? Firstly, the women. That's why we're all talking about your 'non-existent' war on women. And once you get rid of the safety nets, crime will be the result. Well - that and death. The children born won't be as healthy, because women who don't want to be pregnant don't seek prenatal care.
There's a lot of ugly headed America's way if the Religious Wrong gets all their wishes granted.
Jamal H. is a 28 year-old head of household for a family of seven. The family was issued a WtW voucher in June 2000. On August 1, 2000, they were able to rent an apartment in a complex in Ashburn, Virginia, where they are now receiving rental assistance through the WtW voucher program.
Jamal is the exception, not the norm.
Kind of irrelevant from a practical point of view considering the children have already been had.Furthermore, what the hell business did he have fathering five children he couldn't afford to take care of?
If any of your 70k in loans is guaranteed by Uncle Sam you did.So because he was reckless and irresponsible he got to live for less, get a free car, and get a free education, whereas I've always paid my own way and am now paying back $70k in student loans.
Guess I should have gone on welfare.
Good post, anyone who's the least bit in touch with the real world knows abstinence-only has no chance in hell of working. I have no idea why people keep pretending it does, it's not like unprotected teenage sex is some new phenomena. If you're younger than most rocks, unprotected teenage sex has been abundant in your generation.

Why don't we compare today's teen pregnancy rate with 50 - 60 - 70 plus years ago, when sex education wasn't even an idea. Why do we have an issue with it today, but not back then? Apparently 'social policies' that we've supposedly 'evolved' into (I'd call it regression) over the last 50 to 60 years aren't very good.

The better people are educated on the subject, the better things are. Not that gov't education is any good, but it's better than just never talking about the subject.

1972.... we were well on the road to corruption as a society by then. Try the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's... it all started in the 60's, the same period where those in charge today were in their teens (teach your parent's well, because they're all naive morons), and based on where we're at today, I'd say it's not much of a coincidence that we're in the shape we are with those people in positions of power today.

pregnancy rates are going to be even worse with the war on women.
A study has shown that while the U.S. is currently enjoying a steady decline in the number of teen pregnancies, states with sex ed and health classes that stress abstinence-only education rank the highest in the numbers of underage pregnancies, according to a post at Think Progress.
The current rate of teen pregnancies, about 35 per 1,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 19, is the lowest on record since the CDC began to track these statistics in 1940. The CDC attributes the improvement to pregnancy prevention efforts and education.
However, 37 states currently mandate that all sex education include information on abstinence, 26 of whom insist that abstinence be taught as the main method of pregnancy prevention. Studies have indicated that abstinence-only programs may end up deterring contraceptive use among teens who do have sex, whereas teenagers who have been taught a comprehensive sex ed curriculum are 60 percent less likely to become pregnant or get someone else pregnant.
Additionally, a 2007 federal study indicated that abstinence-only education ultimately had no impacts at all on rates of sexual abstinence.
The two states with the highest rates of teen pregnancies are Mississippi and New Mexico. Neither state requires that sex ed be taught in schools. Mississippi law stipulates that when sexual education is taught, that abstinence be the main method of contraception proscribed by educators, whereas New Mexico has no rules about reproductive health criteria at all.
The state with the lowest rate of teen pregnancies is New Hampshire, which requires comprehensive sex ed in schools that includes information about condoms and other forms of birth control in addition to abstinence.

Because it introduces too many variables not relevant to the discussion and muddies the waters (which is of course why you want to do it).
