The Abstinence Clearinghouse Blog

Gloucester High has seventeen pregnant female students.  The girls made a pact to get pregnant and raise their children together.  To accomplish this “goal,” some of the girls even involved themselves with men in their 20’s. 

At the end of the school year, the school nurse had given  150 pregnancy tests.  The school pregnancy rate increased 400% in one year! 

The media is saying that more contraception available to high school students is the answer.  How will that help girls who have a mindset determined to get pregnant?  Increasing available contraception is NOT the answer. 

NAC believes that abstinence education is the key to preventing future teen pregnancies and protecting the health of high school students!
