One of the most asinine analogies I ever heard in support of abstinence-only education was "We're not handing kids bullet-proof vests and telling them to go out and shoot each other. Why should we give them condoms?"
It probably says a lot about our culture that, in this person's mind, gunfighting (which only ends in injury or death) was equivalent with sex, which can be one of the most life-affirming experiences out there. I sure as heck don't want to live in that universe...
