If you really want to cut down on the number of abortions then mandate sex ed and distribute free birth-control. The problem wouldn't evaporate, but it would alleviate the damage done.

I disagree. Please see the link in post 96 for a [long but worthy] explanation. Thanks.

So far, that has only increased the rates. It's kind of like the current anti-drug ad campaign actually increasing the number of teen drug users.

Only abstinence only education has been shown to reduce the numbers of unwanted pregnancies. Personally, I believe it is successful because it gives kids the authority to say 'not interested' to sex.

Shalom.

Just remember - abstinence works 100% of the time in preventing unwanted pregnancies.
