Abstinence and Abortions
Very interesting article about how the evangelical community has finally, in a very limited way, admitted that preaching abstinence is causing abortions rates to climb. 80% - 80%! of young evangelical adults are having sex before marriage and 30% of these women who become pregnant get abortions. So one third of he recipients of the pro-abstinence (and presumably pro-life) message get abortions when they have an unplanned pregnancy before they are married. That is astonishing. If you hate abortion, teach birth control.
