That’s a fair point, but I think the solution is comprehensive and effective sex education and access to contraception, rather than social pressure to wait until marriage.

Again, I’d emphasize that blue states that take the approach I favor have a better record of reducing teen pregnancy and unwanted births than red states that have more cultural pressure around abstinence. Northern European countries with similarly liberal norms also have good outcomes on this score.
