"The trend is down and the trend coincides with the "sexually oppressive"
teaching of abstinence. Abstinence is more healthy than promiscuity, especially among teens"
It's not really provable exactly what this trend coincides with. Abstinence-only...or being taught the dangers of unprotected sex...or just seeing the effects of AIDs?
I could as easily make the argument that the trend coincides with more education about birth control...but couldn't 'prove' that beyond a shadow of a doubt either.
The trend could be because of video games, or more mothers staying home, or abstinence education, or putting the condom on banana education...but it seems to me, common sense demands that abstinence be taught and encouraged.
