Is murder ever a valid choice?   Does being a women make murder no longer wrong?

I also don't get why you think this is an example that Abstinence Only Education fails?   How did the teaching fail?

It was the people that made the choice to not follow the teaching.   If they had followed the teaching, this would never have happened, and Bristol wouldn't be dragged through the mud by partisans looking for an issue.

This is like saying, teaching people not to plug their fingers into power sockets fails, because some people still do it, and get electrocuted. So we shouldn't teach to not put your fingers in power plugs.

Or that, teaching people to drive correctly fails, because thousands die in reckless driving accidents.   So we should give up teaching people to not drive recklessly.

So you see how this argument is clearly flawed?
