Whoa there.
If one abstains from having sex one cannot become pregnant. If one can teacher kids the evils of having babies while young and out of wedlock then one can also teach the value of abstinence.
Kids are people like all of us and they aren't all that stupid. So they can learn the having sex is wrong and they can adhere to that law.
I attended high school right smack dab in the middle of Marin County CA. During my four years in HS I recall only one girl becoming pregnant. Maybe there were some more, but I only recall one. We were taugh that unwed motherhood was wrong. We were taught this by our parents, our teachers and our society.
When I was teaching high school in Napa, CAlif, we had an average of 52 girls a year give birth out of wedlock. The school's student population was about 2,000 kids.
What changed?
