[There are those of us who make $100 donations each month to Planned Parenthood.
A dozen people making $100 donations each month is $14,400/year.
And the reason we do this is because we know so-called "abstinence education" doesn't work -- and we know that for a FACT (even if it isn't a "Republican fact") here in Texas because "abstinence only" education has given us the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the country (and the highest rates of reported STDs).]
Untrue. Teenagers having sex has given you the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the country (if that's true)

Actually, Abstinence Only -> higher rates of teens having unprotected sex -> higher teen pregnancy rates
"Abstinence Only education is like forbidding young girls to be taught about their impending menstrual cycles, then calling them every filthy word in the book when the inevitably soil their panties."
FACT: Abstinence works.
You know, it occurs to me. A condom, when used correctly (you know, like they teach in sex ed!) fails 2% of the time. The BC pill fails 0.3% of the time. Used together, that's a failure rate of .00006 percent. Compared to the likelihood of getting hit by a car crossing the street, I'm surprised fundies let their kids outdoors.http://www.contracept.info/risks.php
You mean that teen pregnancy has something to do with teenagers having sex? Stop the presses already! Now, Captain Obvious, please address the point, if you can.
Abstinence only programs have been shown to be a waste of money, here and over-seas.
Yes, but "abstinence education" doesn't stop teenagers from having sex. Here's the explanation, real simple:teenagers still have sex. Abstinence education doesn't stop kids having sex. It just means they get pregnant instead of not getting pregnant.
@Patches: You said, "panties". *snicker*
Yes, it´s true. What you don't get is that the highest pregnancy and STD rate is in the places where, supposedly, kids are abstaining from sex through these programs. Care to explain that?
There was a sort of abstinence-only sex ed thingy at the school I go to (in Ohio).....I think I was the only one who didn't sign the pledge, yet I'm a girl.
LadyBaird (#251927):TRILLION debt financed by China, Japan and Saudi Arabia -- and nobody will have to worry about a thing and everything will be JUST FINE!"
Those are examples of "Republican Facts".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
