I have never met a person who practiced abstinence that got pregnant. The last time that happened was over 2,000 years ago.
But if you are referring to those who get pregnant because only abstinence is taught in school, you are not facing the facts realistically. Even if one teacher uses a textbook to teach the students abstinence, many of the teachers at the school live immoral lifestyles, teaching the students by their actions. In addition, the schools play music that encourages an immoral lifestyle. Even in the news this past week was a school system that was being criticized for providing skimpy cheerleading outfits for their cheerleaders. Abstinence is more than just a textbook, and it needs to be taught by the whole school system, and not just one class, in order to be effective.
And even if taught by the school properly, the parents can nullify the teaching by living improper lifestyles themselves.
