If you listen to Greta’s interview, Sarah herself says abstinence is naive.

Everybody is bashing Bristol but nobody is commenting on Sarah’s views.

Respectfully, my friend, birth control as a means to prevent teenage and young adult out of wedlock pregnancies, is naieve and not only ineffective but since it’s legalization, the rate of out of wedlock pregnancies has drastically increased.

I think abstinence can still be taught, but in this day and age, it's getting harder and harder. Sarah herself was probably pregnant with her oldest before she was married and she understands that, just as her daughter now does. The Christian in me shudders at this, but the realist in me accepts that it's just the way things are in this day and age.

Making a general comment (not specific towards Sarah), but the problem today is, way too many parents don't pay attention to their kids. They let the TV or the computer babysit them and then wonder how their kid ended up in whatever situation they ended up in. This extends to other areas, including public education. My wife has taught and tutored on and off over the past 30 years, and she has seen a very distinct change over that time, from people who were concerned about their kids education, friends, etc., to people who communicate more with their kids by text messages than in person.

If you want to last very long in this forum, I suggest you let that one go.
