On a topic related to the abstinence programs, what happens when the students do get married? If all they know is that contraception is useless, how do they control their fertility?
I was one of those that waited until marriage to have sex. It was mostly due to biblical teachings on the subject; which is that sex is good, but it has boundries set by God for our protection. My wife and I used contriception for a year, then decided it was time to have a kid. We didn't make our decision based on "financial readiness" though. I don't think one is ever quite prepared aside from winning the lottery. You just have to adjust your lifestyle to make room for the new addition, and most of us have the capacity to spend as much money as we make.
