Xtian Fantasy Meets Reality

Has US Abstinence Policy Failed?

"US lawmakers are investigating whether to cut government funding for health education programmes that promote sexual abstinence until marriage. (...)
"We get sex-ed classes in school and that should be where teens get the right information - but that isn't happening," says 15-year-old Mildred, from Arizona, who volunteers as a peer educator with the pro-choice organisation Planned Parenthood.
"They don't touch on subjects like sexuality, STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), birth control - it's not allowed because of abstinence-only education. It leaves you on a cliff-hanger - and a lot of teenagers become sexually active in their middle school years."
