Jonny, I think you just pointed out the root of our disagreement.

My line of thinking comes from a point of view where "abstinence" is simply the way of a responsible life; it's not religious dogma, nor it is just a set of nice ideals for one to say and others to follow.

Without getting too technical here, I'm sure most all of us know that there are several ways of "getting intimate" without engaging in the actual intercourse - it's not all about copulation, right? Thus there is another way of reducing the risk of pregnancy to zero: an option for those who choose not to take the "A" route.

Overcoming carnal instincts with responsible, conscientous mind and heart - this is one thing that makes us human, after all.
