Good point
As Dr. Wade Horn of the Department of Health and Human Services sagely observes: "We don't need a study, if I remember my biology correctly, to show us that those people who are sexually abstinent have a zero chance of becoming pregnant."
Supporters of condom distribution remain unconvinced, however, and James Wagoner of Advocates for Youth responds: "The only 100 percent way to avoid a car collision is not to drive, but the federal government sure does a lot of advocacy for safety belts."
What he doesn't mention is that we strictly limit driving privileges to citizens over age sixteen — even if fifteen year olds used seat belts — and we strongly discourage driving without a license.
Doesn't it make similar sense to discourage intercourse without a wedding license?
