Who knows what report they’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 doesn’t magically disappear when marriage vows are exchanges, you know. This statistic is about the first time a girl has sex. If you can’t scare girls with HPV, how on earth will you ever stop them from having sex?Īnd not just sex “before marriage,” either.
They don’t hate mandatory vaccinations because of preserving their religious freedom – they hate them because they’d take away their star statistic in their fear-mongering flyer. You can remember that the next time you read a press release from the Liberty Counsel that argues against the HPV vaccine. Here’s a sample flyer they provide, which includes statistics on STDs like:Ī 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. You can also spend the day spreading a little fear around. According to the “about” page, the Liberty Counsel hopes that you’ll spend the Day of Purity (“Valentine’s Day or the previous weekday”) ignoring gay rights groups that tell you it’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, it’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. I debated whether or not to post this, because let’s face it: it’s way too easy to pick on conservative Christians who make earnest videos using teddy bears to tell us how cool chastity is.
