The myth of 'safe sex'

New York City is proof positive that the "safe sex" message is not generating positive results.

The Big Apple has been at the forefront of providing free or low-cost birth control, but it has not reduced pregnancies or abortions. Chris Slattery, founder of EMC Frontline Pregnancy Centers, says abortion has been higher in New York for four decades. He cites the most recent figures for abortions are "90,000 for the city limits in the last reported year – rates that approach 50 percent of all non-miscarried pregnancies ending in an abortion here."

Youngsters, he laments, have little chance to hear the abstinence message because only a few schools provide it. "The abstinence message here is just completely kaput here," Slattery explains. "Our mayor flooded our city last year with 26 million free condoms given out everywhere -- and it does not show that abortions are going down or pregnancies are going down."

Slattery contends the New York figures ought to send a message nationwide that the supposed "safe sex" message promotes promiscuity, while abstinence works.

1. This is why I rarely listen to Fundies.

I have a headache after reading that.

3. More abortions means sex education and healthcare are failing.
