I don't think abstinence works

Just ask all the Repub pervs...;)

1. Abstinence: the only birth control with a 100% failure rate.

Especially when the GOP's lurking about.

2. Just what we need. Homeland Security Directors with

hardons.

3. Yep, and half of all AIDS funding is now going to abstinence education!

I don't understand!!!!! :grr:

4. Absitinence has no chance against hormones... or love.

5. Why anyone would think that Plan A is better....

... than Plan A followed by Plan B is beyond me...

6. It doesn't work.. I think to some degree that they are aware of it too,

but they want those who don't follow the "rules" to have lasting nasty consequences.. Do what we (God) tells you to or you'll end up with no money, future, or education taking care of kids nursing a nasty STD.. I am convinced that's why they are so against letting HPV vaccine come to market.. They want people that won't "listen" punished, and they don't care how..

10. Precisely. They want to bring back penalties for sexual freedom.

Even if they have to go way out of their way to manufacture some.

7. Abstinence makes people cranky

And cranky people make for an unhappy society.

8. If abstinance truly worked

humans would have gone extinct about 10,000 years ago.

9. No it doesn't.

My high school graduation class of 49 girls had eight that were pregnant, but the nuns didn't know. The shotgun weddings followed shortly after that summer. Since the only birth control available to single people back then were condoms and abstinence, the percentage who got pregnant was a pretty high percentage and that doesn't count the ones who didn't get pregnant but had sex, and those whose boyfriends were able to get condoms.

12. It takes practice to find out the difference between love and lust,

(if there is one) and repressing hormones encourages early marriages to the wrong people. And that's a bad idea.

11. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder. n/t
