"Only 14 per cent of the drop amongst 15- to 19-year-olds was linked to reduced sexual activity"

IT'S A MYTH THAT 14% OF SOMETHING BIG IS THE SAME AS ZERO.

What a bunch of putzes. Nevermind that the planned parenthood arm the Guttmacher folks did the study (GIGO alert!), and they might be likely to skew it. That data *DOES* show that lower sexual activity had an impact.

To call it a myth is itself a myth, or a lie.

Agreed. Also-was there mention of the sample size or how the stats were gathered? If not, it's difficult to know much about the studies' conclusions.
