Teen pregnancies highest in states with abstinence only policies

Teen Pregnancies Highest In States With Abstinence-Only Policies | ThinkProgress

Imagine that...you don't teach kids about safe sex and more of them get pregnant. Mississippi also leads the nation in STDs.

People need to understand there is a difference between teaching abstinence and practicing abstinence. When you practice abstinence, it works. When you teach abstinence, it does NOT work.

Lots of bible thumpers seem to not understand the difference.

Retarded attempt at correlation. There are no states teaching abstinence only. The pregnancy issues are about sorry ass parenting and single parent households that don't give two craps about education.

When you guys go to the MS casinos it may be a good idea to leave the ladies along.

Good points, but do you think teaching abstinence works? I live in Utah....the most morally conservative state in the Union. Family structure is generally in tact here, and parents do give a crap about education. Parents rigidly teach abstinence only. They even strictly teach abstinence from masturbation. If abstinence worked, I'd expect UT to be #50, but they were #36.

In Tennessee, the best form of birth control for teen girls is making sure their mothers are at home.

OP, the two are not correlated.

Teen pregnancies are due mainly to the way a child is raised at home. Not what they are taught in school.

The wildest girl I ever went out with as a teen was a Preachers Daughter.

If you have ever been lucky enough to date a Pentecostal woman you know what I'm talking about.

At the Christian college that I attended, it was a standing joke about the freshman pastor's daughters......most lived up to the reputation.
