- compiler-guy 10y agoIt's not unlike abstinence-only birth control. Practiced perfectly, yes, abstinence is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. There is no question about that. And yes, some small fraction of people do manage to practice complete abstinence, and reap the benefit of not getting pregnant. But as a policy, abstinence only for broad swaths of the population is a total disaster.

The people for whom supply and demand curves never cross. It's much harder to reason why a person capable of having a life will choose to not to.
