From the AP...
"Students who participated in sexual abstinence programs were just as likely to have sex a few years later as those who did not, according to a long-awaited study mandated by Congress"
Furthermore...
"those who attended one of the four abstinence classes reviewed reported having similar numbers of sexual partners as those who did not attend the classes, and they first had sex at about the same age as their control group counterparts — 14 years and nine months, according to Mathematica Policy Research Inc"
You mean abstinence programs cannot control teenagers hormons?! You mean we may need to teach them about safe sex and condoms in addition to abstinence?! I want to know how much money was wasted to find the obvious. The government already wastes $176 million each year on abstinence-only programs that are utterly worthless. Teenagers will have sex. I'd rather they know how to use a condom than simply learn the government's official stance against pre-marital sex.
