New research provides information that adolescents who take an abstinence pledge as part of a program are just as likely to have premarital sex AND they are LESS likely to use protection.
I, of course, support abstinence. It is still, and as far as I can tell, the only form of 100% always safe sex.
However, especially after this study, I cannot support abstinence-only programs. To me, NOT stressing the importance of protection could be just as detrimental as no sex ed whatsoever.
Our country is supposed to be one of the greatest in the world. Let's try our best to act like it.
