I think that abstinence only programs only belong in the private school system. As far as I care, you can teach anything in a private school. I had abstinece only sex ed, and I had watched enough Mtv and listened to enough Loveline to figure out that I had to wrap it up.
The thing about teens, is that whilst some of them may be responsible enough to make thier own decisions, most are not. The problem is that a good chunk of these kids will be drawn to sexual encounters, and not necessarily relaize that what they do will end in pregnancy or herpes. Kids need to know that if they're going to do something which really isn't inherently evil, that they should do it in a manner that doesn't create unwanted babies that might get aborted, and/or spread disease.
If you want to stop abortions, teach proper sex ed.
This post was a bit disjointed. I just kind of typed as I went.
