I don't know about teen pregnancies, but I've seen research that teens who pledge "abstinence" define it strictly as intercourse and are more likley to engage in other sexual behaviors, like oral and anal sex.
I'm not a parent, but I think that if I were I'd want my kid to be informed and protected instead of ignorant and coddled.
