Prof. Questions Abstinence Only Sex Ed in Holly Ashcraft Case
Background: Holly Ashcraft is charged with abandoning her newborn infant, who died.
Louise Marie Roth, assistant sociology professor at the University of Southern California, (where Ashcroft goes to school) speculates on the case:
"I suspect that students who receive strict abstinence-only messages and no other messages about sexuality feel that they have no social resources to turn to if they get pregnant," (Snipped)
She goes on to say that Ashcroft may have felt that abandoning her newborn infant to die was less morally repugnant than admitting to premarital sex.
She had to be told that leaving an infant to die is worse? What a load of crap.

Sex education is a stupid waste of tax dollars, whether it is for abstinence or not.
