A Stupid Teen is a Good Thing

In an AP link provided by the Sludge... er... Grudge... uh Drudge Report:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration is proposing to double spending on sexual abstinence programs that bar any discussion of birth control or condoms to prevent pregnancy or AIDS despite a lack of evidence that such programs work.

I have zero problem with those who choose abstinence. It worked for me.

But it's just that: a choice. To deliberately without information about contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases is just wrong. A stupid teen isn't a good thing because it also means a teen who may become pregnant or father a child unintentionally, who may develop a life-long sexually transmitted disease or they may get a death sentence through the introduction of HIV into full blown AIDS.
