THAT reasoning makes absolutely no sense. Children make choices, often VERY contrary to what they've been taught, ect....does that make it wrong for the parent to teach them what they feel is the 'right' way. I am sorry, but i don't see how someone can agrue that abstitance is not something worth teaching. And I agree with sbaglio about education beyond abstitance.

AMEN!
It makes me NUTZ!! when people have that opinion. I just don't get it. You do the best you can to instill what you believe to be right in your children, but at the end of the day they will make their own decisions. That doesn't mean that you didn't "practice what you preach" at home.
I mean, there is a point in that logic somewhere, I guess, because Palin preached abstinence but obviously didn't get through to her daughter. But for crying out loud, word it that way.
