This is what happens when you only teach your kids abstinence. Their teens end up having sex anyway, but they don't know how to use birth control and end up making babies. Conservatives need to wake up, and this just proves it. image
No, this is what happens when kids become teenagers. They have sex. They get pregnant. It happens to children of liberals too. And how do you or anyone else know that they didn't use birth control? My oldest child is a result of me getting pregnant while on the pill. It happens. I hate that I'm in here defending a party I'm not even voting for, but damn, liberals are acting like Bristol Palin having sex is all because her mom believes in abstinence.
I see what you're saying, but I'm just pointing out that teaching only abstinence is impractical these days. In general conservatives are pushing that idea, and this is an example of what it leads to. I don't know her situation, but considering they're Catholic, there was probably no birth control discussion in their house.

Most forms of birth control are about 99.9% effective, so proper knowledge would dramatically cut down on all the pregnancies and STD's spread by teens these days.
