You know what prevents pregnancy, besides not having sex? Contraceptives. Who knows what report theyвЂ™re talking about, there, but they come close to the truth: teen pregnancy leads to girls dropping out of school. ? More likely to not graduate from college by the time they turn 30 ? 50 percent less likely to attend or graduate from college and ? almost three times more likely to be expelled or drop out of high school One report shows that sexually active teens are: Sexual activity among teens is a strong and significant predictor of decreased academic results. In 2006, 750,000 teenage girls became pregnant and 32 percent of those pregnancies ended in abortion. Better to just never have sex at all, I guess.

HPV doesnвЂ™t magically disappear when marriage vows are exchanges, you know. This statistic is about the first time a girl has sex. If you canвЂ™t scare girls with HPV, how on earth will you ever stop them from having sex?ДЄnd not just sex вЂњbefore marriage,вЂќ either. They donвЂ™t hate mandatory vaccinations because of preserving their religious freedom вЂ“В they hate them because theyвЂ™d take away their star statistic in their fear-mongering flyer.

HereвЂ™s a sample flyer they provide, which includes statistics on STDs like:ДЄ teenage girl has nearly a 50/50 risk of getting HPV in her first sexual relationship, (46 percent) according to BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

According to the вЂњaboutвЂќ page, the Liberty Counsel hopes that youвЂ™ll spend the Day of Purity (вЂњValentineвЂ™s Day or the previous weekdayвЂќ) ignoring gay rights groups that tell you itвЂ™s okay to have sexual urges that disappoint Pat Robertson. This is a promotion for the Day of Purity, the most boring holiday since Arbor Day (yeah, I said it. The kids who made this video do not know what to do with either 1.) girls or 2.) teddy bears. But in the end, fuck it, itвЂ™s Friday, and also this is a product of the Liberty Counsel, assholes who think gay people, feminists, and science-based sex education are destroying America.
