“Embedded in the Guttmacher ratings is a rejection of the “abstinence only” approach to sex education in schools and a preference for “comprehensive sex ed,” which incorporates the abstinence message but also informs students about how they can protect themselves through contraception. California, for example, is one of the few states in the country to reject federal abstinence-only education funds, which boosts its Guttmacher score.”
OH NO, can’t be true. I thought abstinence-only was the ONLY thing that could work.
Abstinence is the only method of birth control with a 100% effectiveness rate. It literally works every time it’s tried!
Aye, there’s the rub. How often is it tried?
I come at this as a man who knows that, as far as the law is concerned, I need to be prepared to support the child that could result from ANY sexual encounter I have. No ifs, ands, or buts. It’s a great incentive to use the 100% effective method if I have any doubts about my desire to create a child.
(Several possible puns in that message - none were intended.)
