Speaker 1: Back in the nineties, scruel administrators in New York and
Speaker 1: Los Angeles devised a plan to combat the spread of
Speaker 1: HIV AIDS. They decided to give away condoms to junior,
Speaker 1: high and high school students. The idea took off soon
Speaker 1: in school districts all over the country. We're handing out
Speaker 1: condoms of teenagers, encouraging them to have sex early and often,
Speaker 1: as long as it was safe sex, because there was
Speaker 1: no way we can stop them anyway. They said. Well,
Speaker 1: it's almost twenty five years later now and we are
Speaker 1: seeing how it worked out. Thanks to a study examining
Speaker 1: the massive condom giveaway, researchers wanted to know if the
Speaker 1: free condoms had any effect on teen pregnancy rates. The
Speaker 1: short answer is yes, it did. The study was published
Speaker 1: by the National Bureau of Economic Research, shows clear evidence
Speaker 1: that access to condoms and schools leads to an increase
Speaker 1: in teenage fertility. Bottom line, schools gave teenager condoms and
Speaker 1: permission to have sex, and teenagers rose to the occasion
Speaker 1: had sex. Now, who could have predicted that, Well, lots
Speaker 1: of people predicted I predicted it. But those who opposed
Speaker 1: the condom giveaways are ridiculed by liberals for advocating that
Speaker 1: teens be taught abstinence. That was also back when the
Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton was getting Lewinsky's in the oval orifice
Speaker 1: from his intern while claiming that it wasn't really sex.
Speaker 1: So we learned twenty five years later that liberals were
Speaker 1: wrong again. Of course, they're not going to be held
Speaker 1: to account for screwing up the country, because they never are.
