Abstinence education works 100 percent of the time. Just because someone chooses to go against what they were taught doesn't mean they weren't taught.

Those of you who keep saying abstinence education doesn't work because some people choose not to abstain are like idiots saying algebra education doesn't work because some people don't use algebra after they've learned it. Or, let's try this one: contraceptive education doesn't work because some people don't use contraceptives. Do you see just how damned idiotic you people sound when you say such nonsense? Let's take your idiocy even further.

Science education doesn't work because some people don't become scientists.

History education doesn't work because some people do the same things that history education showed them were bad.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

ABSTINENCE works 100% of the time; abstinence EDUCATION does not, according to various studies done on the subject:

Quote:
Abstinence-only programs show little evidence of sustained (long-term) impact on attitudes and intentions. Worse, they show some negative impacts on youth's willingness to use contraception, including condoms, to prevent negative sexual health outcomes related to sexual intercourse. Importantly, only in one state did any program demonstrate short-term success in delaying the initiation of sex; none of these programs demonstrates evidence of long-term success in delaying sexual initiation among youth exposed to the programs or any evidence of success in reducing other sexual risk-taking behaviors among participants.

Abstinence education works 100 percent of the time since the end result is that those subjected to it are EDUCATED about abstinence.

If we follow your logic, the solution for murder is to teach children that murder is wrong. How is that working out for us?

If results show that the education makes no difference in the long run, what's the point?

Not at all. According to MY logic, the only solution to murder is for people to make the choice not to murder.

What's the point of having the government running education?

If it were up to me, sex education wouldn't take place in the government indoctrination centers, it would be done in the pediatrician's office by pediatricians or nurses.

It is a false notion - even an idiotic one - that people choosing not to follow what they're taught means that what they were taught doesn't work.
