Even though I had given birth to 3 children by the age of 22 since no doctor gave me advice about birth control except for the dreaded diaphragm (even though birth control pills were available). I was not allowed a tubal ligation (a permanent fix) for 10 more years since doctors wanted to preserve my reproductive functions. I didn't know my own mind, they said. As for abortions, forget it...you had to go to the shady side of town and often died for lack of medical treatment. Many desperate women suffered for all of it.

"Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behavior," So everyone is totally absent of morality?
http://www.ibelievethis.us
Unfortunately, ignoring facts and evidence is what fundamentalists do best.
Nowadays they would be the same ones who take "virginity pledges".
apparently, she would engage in underage drinking and become pregnant by a fellow snow-billy.
Just as they ignore the fact that the "war" on drugs doesn't work; the "war against terrorism" doesn't work; deregulation doesn't work; privatizing public works doesn't work; on and on and on. They should have an ostrich for a party symbol rather than an elephant.
I don't know which one is creepier and pervy: "virginity pledges", or father-daughter "purity balls".

How creepy are those events? A bit like those cults where men marry children who don't even know what it means. Those events give the vile appearance of trotting out one's own kid for one's pedophile pals to ogle and prey upon. Seems just one step away from female children as dad's chattle, shown off in a ring not unlike how cattle is shown for sale. Or how the radical, fundamental religious cultures segregate their females from the opportunities of life.
Kids grow up, work on becoming independent from parents, have lives. Some parents just don't want to let go in healthy stages, so they ramp up unnatural control on kids. Nature will ALWAYS win that battle, so parents might consider arming their darlings with real information so they may make informed choices.
Ah-HA! there's that 'choice' word again. There might be a gene that makes one despise any choice available to another, but that's a different can of worms.
This abstinence-only shit has to stop. Watch the Penn & Teller Bullshit episode on Abstinence Education to see how truly fucked up these 'teachers' really are and how tax money is being given away to absolute kooks.
