This is what happens with "Abstinence Only" sex education

Of course 'experts' are saying they don't have enough data to figure out why teen pregnancies are on the rise.

Report: Teen pregnancies up for first time in 15 years

Teen pregnancies rose in the United States for the first time since 1991, the National Institutes of Health reported Friday. Federal health experts said they don't know why the teen pregnancy numbers went up from 2005 to 2006, and that not enough data have been collected to say whether it's a trend

Gee, like this is difficult to figure out? I guess we need 'experts' to tell us that abstinence only for sex education isn't working. This is proof that abstinence only isn't going to make kids not have sex. They just won't know how to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies or STDs. Way to go, Bush Admin, way to go! You pedal those faith based initiatives, and cut funding to any and all who dare want to educate teens and women about reproduction and birth control.
