100 years ago in America back when sex education and contraception were all illegal 1/3 of all pregnancies ended in abortion. This is what happens when you allow religious dogma to determine public policy instead of common sense.

Thank you for turning this into another religion thread.
Interest ended.

When in doubt, blame religion.

Blame the Greeks and Romans :P Christianity's extreme prudishness about sex is a reaction to the levels of debauchery of the old Empires.

All religions are 100% pure absolute evil - and I can prove it scientifically: There is no evidence to prove this wrong. True fact.

That and the dark ages show how religion just up and threw away almost all technological advances leading up to them (save the ones useful for killing).

That's not the point. The point is that the theory is that the Puritan mindset is what caused the current reproductive issues in the United States.
If you have a differential diagnosis, please input! :)

Why select for a very tiny group which never attained any real level of political power over the country instead of something more reasonable, like, say, Deists.

Puritan MINDSET, not Puritans. Puritanical has definitions far beyond the original religious sect.
U guise. In civics&economics class last year, I was told then in Europe, there are condom dispensers on the walls in high schools. And Europe is much more liberal than the US about teen sex. Whereas the US basically preaches "Abstinence, abstinence, abstinence"
That's pretty much stated in the article, I think the current discussion is more about why.
Suburbia, and an increasingly ignorant middle class living in it. That's my diagnosis.
How has suburbia and an ignorant middle class led to that?

While it does, you must propose a source for this mindset to make a credible case. If not the Puritans themselves, then who?

:blah Oh.
Thus why I lay the blame squarely on an increasingly ignorant (and sheltered and media swamped) middle class.
I blame parents for sheltering their kids. I also blame our educational system for giving parents too much control. It is the parents (actually just soccer moms) that demanded interweb censorship and demanded that such and such not be taught in schools because they did not want their little baby to be exposed to it.
Well now it's time to wake up. They'll figure out these things sooner or later and if they don't know how to deal with it/approach it {sex, etc.} properly the consequences can be lifelong and are generally unwanted.
I also blame drugs, alcohol, parties, rap music, and facebook for causing the middle class to become increasingly ignorant. And "political correctness." Although I may just be making myself look bad because I am an ignorant teenager who is also a virgin.
I also blame religion.
