"Here is a
good question: Has the teaching of Christianity reduced the number of
unintended pregnancies, transmission of STDs, or abortions?"

That's not the question being discussed. The question is about the role of contraception availability in reducing pregnancies and abortions. It's clear that availability doesn't curb unwanted pregnancies. Just deal with that fact on the face of it. In fact, explain why it's ok to make contraceptives available when in fact pregnancies and abortions have gone UP over the long haul.

The
reason is that there is a lack of education in schools. Sex is seen as
a "bad" thing to teach children. The general thinking is that if
children learn about sex, they will become sexually active themselves.

No. Lack of education isn't the problem. And it's not seen as "bad." It seen as the respoonsibility of the parents. What's wrong with that?

"In
reality, becoming sexually active has nothing to do with sexual
education, religious education, or contraceptive use. It has to do with
human physiology."

Not entirely true. But we'll move on.

If religious education and "abstinence"
worked,.....

Am I making the argument that it does???? If so, where? (here's a clue, I'm not---you're inferring it)
I never said Christianity worked automatically. If someone has told you that, tell them AD says they are full of crap. ;)

I don't know the answer to this problem. I think we have a breakdown in society and a multitude of factors are at play when it comes to sexual activity. As there is nothing new under the sun, promiscuity has been around since the beginning. Can it be fixed? NO. Can the problem be lessened? Yes but likely no one would agree on a solution. Kids having kids isn't helping the situation. And I know that many parents are simply incompetent. Drugs and selfish ideas, poverty and desperation...on and on. So many things contribute to the problem there is NO solution. Best that can be hoped for is to bring the numbers down. How that can be done will NEVER be agreed upon. Oh well.
