right wing reactionaries take yet another hit, PP clinic reopens in TX

NO, values and abstinence are the only proven ways
61% of those having abortions are between 20-29

:lol: Abstinence only sex education does not work and does nothing to reduce STDs and unwanted pregnancy.

Abstinence-Only Education and Teen Pregnancy Rates: Why We Need Comprehensive Sex Education in the U.S


Using the most recent national data (2005) from all U.S. states with information on sex education laws or policies (N = 48), we show that increasing emphasis on abstinence education is positively correlated with teenage pregnancy and birth rates. This trend remains significant after accounting for socioeconomic status, teen educational attainment, ethnic composition of the teen population, and availability of Medicaid waivers for family planning services in each state. These data show clearly that abstinence-only education as a state policy is ineffective in preventing teenage pregnancy and may actually be contributing to the high teenage pregnancy rates in the U.S.

Practicing abstinence, works 100% in preventing
STD's, unwanted pregnancies and aborting unwanted babies!

I stated nothing about abstinence only sex education...

you stated science and education were the only
proven methods for reducing the number of abortions.
I stated values and abstinence are the only proven methods

Besides, abstinence can not be taught,
it is a result of having standards and being responsible
knowing she is accountable for her choices in life
and how the subsequent consequences could pave her path

Women have the right to act responsibly,
not a right to end a life because they are selfish and irresponsible!
