What eight years of abstinence-only education gets you....

Numerous media outlets are reporting soaring STI rates among women, particularly young women. In fact, the CDC now estimates that one in four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease. Right to Life of Teton County even noted this in a recent ad. However, RLTC continues to promote abstinence as the solution. Umm, haven't we tried that for the past eight years? The result is a staggering increase in the number of women with sexually transmitted infections. Some of these infections could lead to infertility. How is this pro-life?
