It's also been demonstrated that young women engaging in promiscuous sex are more likely to be depressed, suicidal, etc., etc. ... but nobody wants to believe that there's any causation there, either.
Everyone knows that screwing around is good for young girls! Everyone knows that abortion is good for women! It's not NARAL's or PP's fault that some women just have psychological problems for no discernable reason.
Nothing to see here, folks, everybody just move along ...
I am starting to think that the lessons involved in abstinance are somewhat the same lessons needed to succeed otherwise in life. I mean that discipline, self control znd impulse control are desirable traits whereas license and reckless abandon don't workkout that well. I listened at length to a dear friend from Holland, yesterday, making the argument that the Catholic church teaching made women have more children than they could handle. Isn't that all based on the assumption that peole should couple whenever they want? I'll bet that people who have no control over their sex lives lack control in other areas, too. The timr to master this is adolescence.
Nicely put.
