"I personally believe that 13-year-old girls in suggestive clothing is a direct result of abstinence-only education."
"To say that teaching teenagers about condom makes them want to have sex is like saying installing headlights on my car makes the sun go down."
Rather contrary, don't you think? Not only do many 13 year old girls crave the attention suggestive clothing lends them, many are so over-saturated with sex by the media that they don't even realize the effect it has on males. They think it's just normal to dress that way.
Sex education has nothing to do with it - when I was in school, we learned it all, but we didn't learn about the provocativeness of dressing certain ways.
I'm confused. At one point, you say that PEPFAR's slogan is "Abstain, be faithful, use a condom" and that it's good. Then you say it's not. And the whole time you are talking about abolishing "abstinance-only" education, which inherently wouldn't add "Be faithful, use a condom" since it is abstinence *only.*
I do think that in a sex-saturated, irreligious society, AO is not the way to go.
Perhaps if your message wasn't so confusing and contradictory, I might be inclined to agree with you and vote accordingly.
