What is abstinence?   To abstain is to refrain.  Abstinence then is the process of refraining from a certain activity or behavior.  In this case, abstinence refers to waiting until marriage to engage in sexual activity.  

What is comprehensive, abstinence education?   Simply stated, comprehensive abstinence education is truth.  Abstinence education can be taught in many different ways, some whole and others incomplete.  Some try to teach abstinence only as obedience to God and purity in a Christian walk.  While this is true and certainly more than enough reason to remain sexually abstinent, statistics show that this isn’t enough for this new   generation. Some   programs   labeled  “comprehensive” teach abstinence as only one option for birth control and disease prevention.  A comprehensive study of abstinence exposes other birth control and disease prevention methods with the truth of what they really are – not very effective even when used properly.  A comprehensive abstinence program looks at statistics, at disease, and birth rates and risks and examines them all from the lens of purity.  A comprehensive abstinence program not only looks at physical health, but emotional and spiritual health as well.
