    Finally

    Finally someone has come out and said it. Abstinence-only education and abstinence education aren't the same thing. Sure abstinence is a sure fired way to avoid pregnancy and STIs but it shouldn't be the only thing taught. Kids should be learning about EVERY available option to keep themselves safe.
