| The State of Texas is at it again, using that special logic that only they can use. They recommend abstinence as a method of preventing pregnancy (“abstinence works” as quoted by Governor Rick Perry). They have also made it more and more difficult to get contraception and claim the results speak for themselves. And the results definitely do; they have the third highest teen pregnancy rate among all states in the country. But beyond that they have the HIGHEST RATE of repeat teen pregnancies. Thus you have to abstain from thinking to think that young people will abstain from having sexual relations and it is a very un-immaculate contraception plan that has some very tangible and long range damage in itself. But not to the conservative males who keep such laws in place. |
