New York City is proof positive that the "safe sex" message is not generating positive results.
The Big Apple has been at the forefront of providing free or low-cost birth control, but it has not reduced pregnancies or abortions. Chris Slattery, founder of EMC Frontline Pregnancy Centers, says abortion has been higher in New York for four decades. He cites the most recent figures for abortions are "90,000 for the city limits in the last reported year – rates that approach 50 percent of all non-miscarried pregnancies ending in an abortion here."
Youngsters, he laments, have little chance to hear the abstinence message because only a few schools provide it. "The abstinence message here is just completely kaput here," Slattery explains. "Our mayor flooded our city last year with 26 million free condoms given out everywhere -- and it does not show that abortions are going down or pregnancies are going down."
Slattery contends the New York figures ought to send a message nationwide that the supposed "safe sex" message promotes promiscuity, while abstinence works.
However, the left still believes that condoms, abortion and as much meaningless sex as possible with some red ribbons thrown in is the solution to EVERYTHING.

If that is true then STD infections are increasing geometrically.
Not to tell to much here in public, but after experiencing sex with women, I can say without a doubt that it’s never safe. Exciting, sure. Fabulous, you bet. There are dangers, though. Sex is lot like mountain climbing. First, there’s endless preparation, and all the while you can’t help but stare. It sure looks pretty up there. The climb can be exhausting and filled with hidden dangers. You never know what the weather’s going to be like at the top, and, of course, most injuries take place on the way down.
Outlaw sex, make it a capital crime, then you'll see some results.
I don’t want to get too graphic either. But it’s a fact that mutually monogamous sex activity is the only situation where nobody has to worry about VD.
The only 100% safe sex is between two heterosexual virgins on their wedding night!
