    Is this actually research that has been done, or your ideology?

    Anyone with common sense would think less sex = less chance of getting pregnant.

    Maybe the issue isn't conservatives misusing funds, but allocating them to things you don't feel is effective.

    Why is it low in North Dakota and Idaho?

    And Michigan is usually a Blue state, why is it high there?

    I think a lot of this has to do with regional correllations rather than the direct cause-effect relationship you imagine.

    imo nothing can change a kid for the better like paddling the Allagash down in Maine, but it flows north.

    The funds are appropriated by congress to assist the poor people of our country and that is where it should be spent.Certainly not enriching people like Roy Moore.

    There are a lot of things in particular associated with the South.

    You can't draw an automatic cause-effect relationship due to correlation.

    For example, countries where people have longer lifespans tend to have more luxury cars.
    That doesn't mean the longer lifespans in these countries is due to more expensive cars.

    I could post more but LOVED the one about how there was a HIGHER teen birth rate in states with AO:p

    IT DOES NOT WORK

    No but there s a strong association

    Strong enough that memes like this resonate

    Ps in not one of my posts have I claimed correlation equals causation

    It isn't effective. Teens will have sex. I know I did! Nothing will stop that drive. The best way to protect them is teaching protection against disease and pregnancy. This has been proven. Look at those red states in the south. Highest % of teenage pregnancy.

    All of them don't. And it varies from state to state. One can also point out as a general rule that states with the highest infant mortality rates have higher percentages of minorities but I don't think that means anything in particular either.
    great if you are willing to put up with skyrocketing rates of STD infection.

    So are we to deduce that all leftwingers are godless creatures that wander about aimlessly?
    You may be on to something.

    In the 7th grade there was nothing that the sex education course could have taught me except that there was such a thing as transgender (which I did not know). We already had a token lesbian in our class.

    Catholics tell me it is the homo-predator priest scandal which makes them leave in disgust. After almost twenty years of scandal there are still homo-predator priests being sheltered rather then defrocked and prosecuted.

    Membership down 5 million since the scandal came to light.

    In the next war the Vatican will be the first target bombed.

    How in gehenna did you get that out of what I said? Though never mind really, I could say "nice weather lately" and some Trumper rightists would say that "leftists" are now promoting the eating of babies. Still, just for curiosity....

    You're certainly willing to kill a bunch of them in the womb.

    And these people are Vegans.
    I think the Kardassians are just saying they do some things now, just to see how many people they can get to actually do it for real.

    It is also a violation of the Constitution.
