I will spare you all the drama. I just wanted to say it looks like abstinance programs (as those supported by Gov. Palin) don't really work. Everything I feel about it is summed up in this excerpt from Mother Jones Online.
"...imagine if any thing of this sort had happened on the Democratic side. Wouldn't social conservatives be expressing...Or at least implying outrage? I'm reminded of how Newt Gingrich used to try to exploit whatever was in the news to depict the Democrats as the party of family and societal dysfunction. During the 1992 convention, he said, "Woody Allen having nonincest with a nondaughter to whom he was a nonfather because they were a nonfamily fits the Democratic platform perfectly." And then there's the time in 1991, after a South Carolina woman named Susan Smith killed her two daughters, that Gingrich said, "I think that the mother killing the two children in South Carolina vividly reminds every American how sick the society is getting and how much we need to change things. The only way you get change is to vote Republican."
