TEENAGERS in the United States who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who do not promise abstinence and significantly less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control, a study published yesterday says.
"Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behaviour," said Janet Rosenbaum of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health read the rest
Actually it's the 'Christian' sources who frequently distort their facts so they can get their point across/get government funding. They tell lies like condoms are only 80% effective.
Why so bitter Aideen? True Christians want no Govt funding, dont let the psuedo christians run you away from Christ.

You need to be careful where you get your information. This is a non-Christian source which could perhaps be compared with the likes of the Family Planning Association in New Zealand, which for its own reasons distorts the facts terribly and cannot be trusted, in my opinion. I have read several reports in the past from reliable sources in the U.S. which indicate that pledges of abstinance have made a huge difference in teenage sexual behaviour in America.
The promotion of the use of comdoms and other means of contraception has no place among unmarried Christians, of course. Neither should they have to make such vows, but they do need be encouraged to live lives which honour God.The promotion of condom use by teenagers implies acceptance of their sexual behaviour. They need to understand that they do not have to follow the common herd but live by higher ideals. It is working , contrary to what you have heard.
