I bet it'll be about the same - asinums will keep on being asinums
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Sigh.

The weather has been perfect. The workload manageable. I've spent a lot of time outside the last several days. My Swede returns from his emergency trip to England soon. I'm in a good mood. Positive. Staying away from the ranting and raving and anger.

Well we can contunue the 'abstinence only' approach with the same effect it has had reducing teenage pregnancy. .

Oh? Just what is the trend on teenage pregnancy? I don't believe that statistic is moving in the same direction as deaths from drug overdose or deaths by gun in the USofA. But I could be wrong.

Abstinence only, in the unfortunate, backkwards, places where it was mandated, has been as ineffective in reducing teen pregnancies as the NRA's equivalent policy "do nothing to keep murderers from getting guns" approach.

I remained abstinent while I was a teenager and I never got knocked up.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
