Criminalization imposes costs to the consumers, but also to the non-users. Who do you think pays to "fight" these so-called crimes? It is a net negative effect. Everyone loses here. The correlation between teen pregnancy and widespread birth control is indicative of only one thing: poor education. Clearly, if birth control were so widespread, then pregnancies would likely be reduced. Obviously, people have been poorly schooled in the uses of birth control. As for creating new strains of gonorrhea and syphilis, you're wrong to point to the Sexual Revolution. What is now known is that it was improper use of antibiotics that led to the resistant strains, not the amount of syphilis or gonorrhea out there. If the antibiotic cycle isn't completed properly, the likelyhood of a resistant strain developing increases exponentially. Unfortunately, this information was unavailable at the time of widespread antibiotic use. To say the Sexual Revolution caused these is to imply that widespread unsanitary conditions have created antibiotic resistant staph. Which is simply not true.
