Abstinence programs: less safe sex, more teen pregnancy
» Laws and Politicians, Mostly Bad
Or, rather, more specifically, those silly little abstinence programs wrought by the neocon Right and jammed uncomfortably into America's increasingly crumbling and confused public schools and all of which aim to force-feed teens bogus evidence that sex is deadly and icky and fraught and poisonous and should be avoided completely if not somehow surgically eradicated, and if you really must indulge in things prurient and sticky then please go home and whip out your Bible and be sure to avoid your dad's Hustler or the shower massager you little demonic heathen slut. Such programs are bogus and false and misleading and harmful and stupid and wrong. In a nutshell.

Who didn’t see this coming? Talk to a group of adolescent kids about sex, and all they’ll hear are the bits pertaining to how to pull it off. Take out the bits on the at least moderately effective methods of birth control/std prevention available, and you get kids who know nothing more than “Tab A to Slot B.”
Great plan.
