Of course abstinence has a place in the modern world. Far too much pressure is put on young people to have sex these days. Whilst I was at school, having sex as early as possible was seen as something to be proud of, and yet who knows the number of teenage pregnancies it caused. Yes, teaching safe sex is great, but teaching abstinence in addition will prevent girls from being forced into thinking that they need to have sex early, and will teach boys the same.
As for the accusation of "sexism", do you not think that Ms Dorries knew that the bill was going to be controversial, and so limited its scope so it had a better chance of passing? Which bill is going to have a better chance of passing, one that affects the teaching of everyone at school, or one that affects a small group?
