You can't keep believing that policy based on ideology alone will work in the real world. In the real world people--unmarried people no less--have sex all the time and they always have and always will. Our bodies are built for it. That's not a "self-centered" comment, it's real life. The way I see it, we've got two options. Either we make birth control available to people, teach our kids about it AND continue to teach that abstinence is the best policy until they're married and we see unwanted birthrates decline, OR we shun birth control based on self-righteous, unrealistic ideology, ignore reality, preach abstinence-only dogma and continue to see unwanted birthrates skyrocket out of control. I've made my choice already.
Regardless your twisting, abstinence IS 100% effective at not only preventing unwanted pregnancies, but the transfer of STD's as well.
Like it or not, people DID used to have enough morals to exercise a little self-discipline and good judgement.
Until people like you made it okay to make excuses for being losers instead.
