Christian Doctors Group Says Abstinence Study Conforms to What Parents Want

A new study shows how abstinence education is more effective than either comprehensive sexual education or teaching only about contraception. The results coincide with polling data showing parents favor teaching their children abstinence. Dr. David Stevens, head of the Christian Medical Association, said he appreciated the new study, published in the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine. "Science has finally caught up with logic and what parents have known for centuries by empirically demonstrating that equipping teens to abstain from sexual activity is an effective way to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases," he said.
