Abstinence education has no chance...
True, but we already knew that...
Abstinence education is like trying to argue with water to not run downhill. Human teenagers are biologically programmed to mate and produce offspring -- but unfortunately, they are ready, willing, and able to fornicate, years before they are ready to accept the personal and social responsibility for parenting in modern society.
Abstinence works for preventing pregnancy, 100% of the time. But like Christianity, it has generally been found difficult, and not tried.
When we see that even with death threats, young women are willing to take that chance and love their lovers, yes, as you say, we are helpless in the face of such willingness.
