It does not appear that the solution offered addresses unplanned pregnancies. Abstinence as a solution has been available throughout history, and has not realistically been up to the task. Nor has the prevailing health education offered through middle school and high school had much impact on behavior. I do think we have to learn more about what factors determine which girls have unplanned pregnancies and those who don't. If early access to birth control is THE factor, then perhaps we need to study the barriers to such access and offer solutions.
