Anyway, anyone who doesn't think Absistence education doesn't work, is as dumb as people who WANT abistence ONLY education.

Absitence education is the most successful education.  It's just not perfect.  Hence why you want to teach ways to safeguard vs those still stupid enough to go through with it at a young age.

Abstinence education is like saying to people don't do drugs...

You don't think telling people to not do drugs and teaching them the negative effects of drugs stops a decent number of people from doing it?

In a society where nobody suggests drugs have any negative effects and there is nothing wrong with taking drugs you expect drug use to be lower.  IE a situation where there is literally NO reason to NOT do drugs?

Here's a question...

do more people or less people smoke now, then they did before we started campaigns for people not to smoke and people were informed about the negative effects of smoking?

If you don't know... Canada as an example.

 

It's really even more pronounced in the US as far as I can tell, hard to find a good article on it though.
