And if they really think abstinence only sex ed works - tell it to the parents of the five girls who graduated from my former high school this year while hugely, visibly knocked up. And the part I really love - the irony that one of those girls - her mother was the one who led the charge to have abstinence only sex ed taught at that high school. She actually thought that 16 or 17 years old was too young to tell kids about sex and we had to protect their virgin ears. Never mind the fact that most everybody I know started having sex by the time they were 14 or 15. And the fact that the kids who take those abstinence pledges end up breaking them anyway. They decide that as long as they only practice oral sex or anal sex then they are still virgins. And the worst part is - they aren't using any protection when they do it because they haven't been taught about condoms -or - they're taught lies and they're told that condoms have a high failure right in protecting against HIV and unwanted pregnancy. The adults who come up with this crap are idiots of the first order.

Yeah, you be sure to let us all know when the abstinance-only magic kicks in and starts lowering those birth rates.

FAIL.
