Abstinence game costing half a million dollars

[Cloud13]

Or how about instead of teaching something that is worthless and doesn't work you tell them to use condoms, birth control pills or to pull out before they *******.

Hmm, abstinence is the literally the only 100% effective method to avoid getting an STD or someone pregnant. Condoms can break, birth control pills can fail, and coitus interruptus can have a failure rate between 15%-28%. Not to mention that the pill and pulling out don't protect from STDs.

Abstinence doesn't work, eh?

And if they don't listen anyway then they will just have to live with the consequences.

Except in our society, so many times people try to avoid the results of their actions, in this case, abortion.

Abstinence is one of the most useless approaches you can take.
Teaching a hormone filled teen to restrain their sexual urges will not do crap.

Even a lot of adults are ignorant and don't think of the consequences.
Heck even the adults wanting to have a child seem to forget the huge responsibility of taking care of one.

Very true.

Oh and I noticed it was from Fox News which is typical.
And it makes me angry that they are using federal tax dollars for this useless pile of sh1t game.
They have been touting this abstinence crap for a long time and all it does is increase the teen pregnancy rate....

Nice ad hominem.

I find myself in agreement, I don't want boatloads of my tax money going to this game, just as I don't want my tax money going to games that would support safe sex, or groups giving out condoms to children in schools.

I don't have to time right now to research the effect of abstinence promotion on the teen pregnancy rate, but that's something I will check on later.
