You do realize that a lot of the abstinence-only texts say that condoms don't work, right?

SD, > Why do you suppose teen pregnancy and teen STD's, after going down during the Clinton years have gone up during the Bush years?

You tell me. Not enough condoms being handed out in public schools? It's not like teenagers have never seen one, or haven't figured out how to roll one on.

I'm actually for more STD education. The more kids know about herpes and HPV, for example, the more likely they will be to avoid sexual activity or at least reduce stupid behavior.
