If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?

...But that doesn't change the fact that abstinence in these circumstances would still give the best outcomes and is also the more moral thing to do.

No dear, it's the Catholic thing to do.
As long as I was in Washington, I never met anybody that I thought was good enough, who knew enough, or who loved enough, to make sexual decisions for anybody else. [..] We've tried ignorance for a thousand years, it's time we try education.

When abstinence programs failed to reduce the teenage birthrate, the Bush administration instructed the US Centers for Disease Control to stop gathering data, and also forced them to shelve a project identifying those sex education programs which worked, after they found that none of the successful ones were "abstinence-only".[8]

The most recent, and most damning, evidence comes in a large-scale study commissioned by the federal government and released in early 2007.

Not content with domestic failure of abstinence programs, President George W. Bush pushed for abstinence programs in Africa (under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, PEPFAR) in an attempt to ignore prevent the spread of AIDS.[16] The funding ranged from a high $260 million per year in 2008 to the current 2016 low of less than $50 million.[16] The abstinence program proved to be ineffective in Africa, just like in the US: surprise![16] One wonders how many people abstinence education killed.

Catholics don't wonder. They have this book you see.
