Doesn't that defeat the purpose? A teacher gets up and gives a lecture on abstinence, and then, with the next breath says: "But, if your're going to have sex, use a condom." What's the point in the lecture?
Getting back to that quote...
Quote:
"The only 100 percent way to avoid a car collision is not to drive, but the federal government sure does a lot of advocacy for safety belts," said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a group that promotes education about birth control and condom use."
Don't drive, don't crash. It's true.
By the same token:
Don't have sex, don't get pregnant.
Don't have sex, don't get STDs.
Condoms don't always work. Birth control doesn't always work.
Not having sex?
That works 100% of the time.
