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.

Sex And The Disgruntled Teen More proof that *not* having sex is sad and dangerous -- even in Texas. What is wrong with us?

Comments

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.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Abstinence programs: less safe sex, more teen pregnancy. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
