Do you really think that teenagers get pregnant because they don't know how babies are made or don't know they can buy condoms at the store?
It's not that I think we only need abstinence only programs: I just think it's wrong to assume that sex ed format contributes to pregnancy.
I think we could count on one hand the number of teenagers who got pregnant this year who didn't know where they could get condoms. I think they just didn't bother because they didn't want to stop what they were doing right then.
It's a breakdown someplace for sure, but I'm not sure it's at the curriculum level.
