Because abstinence isn’t a realistic message? Teens are not brutally stupid, but they are brutally horny and full of hormones. It’s not realistic to expect them to abstain from sex, but it is realistic for them to be safe about it.

haha, why does everyone assume teens are brutally stupid?
They might be stubborn but trust me, no matter what ethnicy as long as they know WHY absistence is important especially in girls. It’s a proven fact that girls that stuck with viriginity were ten times more SUCCESSFUL, had better morals, values and more self-respect. I know that kids these days still won’t listen to the reasonings of virginity however, handing out condems is the next best thing. Obviously, absistence is the wiser & smarter way to educate the youth. We just haven’t figured out how to DEEPLY & REALISTICLY touch them?

Well, I’m sure that the only people who would go along with his abstinence policy internationally are Christian organizations. I do not know of any secular aid organizations that see this as a realistic policy.

Heh, yeah. Speaking of which, you know how Bush has been really celebrating himself for increasing funding for jinternational aids prevention? It turns out 1/4 of the 15 billon is going to christian organizations. What a breach of ethics.

Yah, I agree. I think of the absistence policy as backwards and stupid, especially internationally. So you want to hand out bibles instead of condoms of India and Africa? Not going to work.

This is a position paper I wrote for Government. Not my best work. But I think its interesting enough.
