Thus, abstinence only is dangerous when it isn't abstinence only, which in accordance with basic logic, is a relatively rare occurence. Let's illuminate this through a comparison: abstinence only is an infinite number of times safer than safe sex. (I refer you to the rule of dividing anything by zero.)
I don't take issue with the option of contraceptives, actually. I disagree with the pope here.
I do take issue with parents of public school students lacking veto power.
