Contraception (Lat. against conception) generally refers to methods of preventing pregnancy (birth control). There are many different methods, each having its own level of effectiveness and safety. The safest and most effective form of birth control is abstinence.
The controversy over this in the United States mainly involves two alternative approaches:
- "abstinence-until-marriage" education programs, advocated by conservatives and supported by President Bush
- "comprehensive sex education", advocated primarily by liberals
Conservatives maintain that abstinence-only education is the only completely effective means of education.Template:Fact-politicalTemplate:Fact-scientific Liberals dispute this. [1] [2]
