Teen sex increased after abstinence program
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 05:20 PM by Kablooie
HOUSTON - Abstinence-only sex education programs, a major plank in President George W. Bush’s education plan, have had no impact on teenagers’ behavior in his home state of Texas, according to a new study.

The study showed about 23 percent of ninth-grade girls, typically 13 to 14 years old, had sex before receiving abstinence education. After taking the course, 29 percent of the girls in the same group said they had had sex.

Boys in the tenth grade, about 14 to 15 years old, showed a more marked increase, from 24 percent to 39 percent, after receiving abstinence education.

2. As does the abortion rate increase
Abortion rates decreased every year Clinton was in office, every year * is in office, the rate increases.

I told my son NOT to pledge to that program..
