Abstinence-only education, the choice of those with STIs
I don’t know if I’ve made this point before, but abstinence-only sex ed is stupid as hell. Apparently, it’s also making Americans infectious as hell:
- 1 million new cases of chlamydia
- Gonorrhea rates are jumping, especially the ’superbug’ variety
- Syphilis is also on the rise, including, for the first time in 15 years, congenital syphilis
Awesome. Maybe it all just got through the tiny holes God puts in the condoms so you get the AIDS.
