Actually, abstinence as a means of preventing teenage pregnancy doesn't work at all.
It's impossible for those who set these things up to be unaware of this fact, and yet they keep on pushing it. In AIDS-infested African countries, too.

the people who preach abstinence are the same people who believe that Mary was a virgin.
Unless you mean Mary Magdelene. Then - well - no - it certainly didn't work.

Abstinence, by the way works 100% of the time. When you deal with God and the supernatural, as in Mary's case, you get the one and only virgin birth.

i suppose cause some prince or king said Mary was a virgin, the huddled masses have to accept that a noble princes word is above re-proach, like the lying prince of england in the movie "A knight's tale".

I think we should start the myth that Mary got a venerial disease without having had sexual relations. That would be miraculous afterall.

She was chaste (a virgin) until after she gave birth to her firstborn son, Jesus.
The truth is the truth, and it doesn't stop being true just because someone disagrees with it or mocks it.
