By pushing abstinence-only sex "education" for kids and teens, the Family Value types not only keep kids in ignorance of ways to be sexually active in a responsible<\/i> fashion, but distort their understanding of what birth control can actually do (by downplaying its effectiveness) when they do<\/i> become sexually active later in life.<\/p>\n

'[A]fter quizzing a nationally representative sample of 1,800 sexually active Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 on their basic knowledge of contraception methods, Guttmacher reports that \u201cmore than half of young men and a quarter of young women received low scores on contraceptive knowledge, and six in 10 underestimated the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
