Abstinence Only Leads to Motherhood
President Obama vs. Bristol Palin on Abstinence-Only Education
May 08, 2009 7:44 AM Unwed teenage mother Bristol Palin might be out there talking about abstinence, but President Obama isn't buying abstinence-only education. Two $100 million programs from his predecessor's budget pushing abstinence only are casualties in President Obama's $3.55 trillion budget proposal. The President is replacing them with $110 million “for teenage pregnancy prevention programs that have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation," as spelled out on pages 490 to 495 of the budget appendix. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., applauded the move, saying "eliminating funding for ineffective abstinence-only programs is a win for science. The Obama budget proposal invests in programs that are effective and based on sound science, rather than wasting millions of dollars on efforts that have been proven to be ineffective at best." Palin, meanwhile, told GMA's Chris Cuomo that "regardless of what I did personally, I just think that abstinence is the only way you can effectively, 100 percent foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy." She didn't have an answer readily available when pressed on how her personal story squares with the abstinence only campaign she's pushing. "I'm not quite sure, I just want to go out there and promote abstinence and say, this is the safest choice," she said. "This is the choice that's going to prevent teen pregnancy and prevent a lot of heartache." *A recent study in the journal Pediatrics indicated that teenagers who make "virginity pledges" to remain chaste until marriage are no less likely to engage in premarital sex but significantly less likely to use birth control.* "Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behavior," Janet E. Rosenbaum of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health told the Washington Post. "But it does seem to make a difference in condom use and other forms of birth control that is quite striking." http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...ent-oba-3.html - - - |

Even a moron of Harry or Don's level can figure that out! |

Yes, indeed, sometimes science is amazing. "*A recent study in the journal Pediatrics indicated that teenagers who make "virginity pledges" to remain chaste until marriage are no less likely to engage in premarital sex but significantly less likely to use birth control.*" Is it because the teens who make virginity pledges are just plain dumber than the ones who do not? :) |

Bristol Palin simply engaged in premarital sex and got pregnant. If there is blame in that family, it should be placed at the feet of her mother, who did not properly educate her daughter and quite possibly forced young Bristol to not get an abortion. You refuse to admit that education is not necessarily reduced to practice by the recipient. |

Bristol Palin simply engaged in premarital sex and got pregnant. If there is blame in that family, it should be placed at the feet of her mother, who did not properly educate her daughter and quite possibly forced young Bristol to not get an abortion. You refuse to admit that education is not necessarily reduced to practice by the recipient. Young unwed girls are impregnated every day by their boyfriends. There's no news in that. Bristol's former beau admitted during a TV interview that sometimes the couple practiced safe sex and sometimes they did not. That sounds about average. As I stated previously, I do not fault Bristol Palin for engaging in teen sex. Most teens are sexually active, especially by the time they are close to finishing up high school. That was true when I was in high school and if anything it is *more* true today. Neither Ms. Palin nor her boyfriend seem to be very bright, but I can only base that on their few appearances on television. There's no evidence either teen was "educated" properly in matters sexual. In fact, it is unlikely Bristol received any pragmatic sex education from her mother. The former boyfriend also stated in interviews that Sarah Palin was aware her daughter was sexually active before the girl got pregnant. A smart, concerned mother would have taken a daughter aside and made sure she was practicing safe sex. Somehow, I have the feeling Sarah Palin did not do this. I also have the feeling that when Bristol found out she was pregnant, she probably wanted to get an abortion, but mama said no. It wouldn't be easy for a young girl like Bristol living in Alaska to obtain an abortion on her own. I also get the feeling the Palins are very casual about certain matters. Sarah Palin at her age had no business getting pregnant, especially since she already had a full brood of rugrats. When an amniocentesis early in her pregnancy showed she was carry a fetus with Downs syndrome, she made the wrong choice. Casual. I don't for a NY second believe her sense of "morality" intervened, because she certainly is not a person of high moral character. |
