Abstinence Provides Better Chance for Women’s Education
Published by anonymous January 28th, 2010 in AbstinenceOne more benefit of abstinence:
One in three teen mothers (34%) do not graduate from high school, according to Child Trends new fact sheet, Diploma Attainment Among Teen Mothers, while only 6 percent teen females who did not become pregnant never finished high school.
Consider this. What guarantees a teen will not become pregnant? Abstinence.
Abstinence, then, is also a sure-fire behavior for increasing teen women’s chances of graduating and reaching educational milestones. Moreover, the lead author of the Child Trends study notes that higher educational attainment can not only reduce teen pregnancy, it can also break inter-generational cycles of teen pregnancies.
So we must ask, do we want to provide our daughters and granddaughters the best possible chance of fulfilling their brightest and most beneficial potential? Helping teen girls to remain abstinent from sex – not merely “safer” when having sex – is a policy with guaranteed returns!
