Abstinence Only Sex-Ed = More Teen Pregnancy

Via Feministing:

In Canton, Ohio, a school board decided to expand sex education to allow for discussion on contraception after realizing that 13 percent of [Timken] high school’s female students were pregnant.

An interesting footnote revealed by a comment on the original post:

This is the same Canton, Ohio that is home to the Timken Company. This is the same company that is run by Bush “Pioneer” William Robert Timken. George Bush visited the company in 2003 to push his tax cuts for the rich. A year later the plant closed…. So the High School, named for Timken, followed the BushCo abstinence-only doctrine and this is the result.
