A clear case of NO “separation of church and state”. By suppressing science to favor such a position, the government has taken a religious position.
I will offer this observation. If you live in the heartland or rural parts of America...the abstinence idea has weight. If you live in urban America or a metropolitan area...it doesn’t work, period. There are two basic Americas, and most folks connected to the government refuse to believe in that concept.
If you drive around and start talking to folks...after a while...most all of us will come to agree on this split situation that exists. And I don’t think it can be fixed to make either party happy.
