A member asked:

What is being done in schools to teach abstinence?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: It depends on the state laws. However, many many studies in the U.S. And around the world have proven that abstinence is an ineffective means of birth control. It won't stop the vast majority of people. That is why, proportionally, the states that teach abstinence only have higher teen pregnancy rates. The debate has left science and entered politics and religious zealotry.
