I have often wondered if an incapability to LISTEN and COMPREHEND is too common of an ailment amongst Republicans...

Left-wingers often DO agree that it is not in the young person's "best interest to engage in sexual activity during their teen years".
It's just that left-wingers are more REALISTIC IN ACKNOWLEDGING that is not going to happen in a lot of cases.
That it is more practical to educate teenagers on ALL options, so that those who choose to have sex anyways will at least know enough on how to protect themselves...

It is dumbfounding where you get your allegations as to what left-wingers supposedly think...

What "logic" do you even think you're talking about?
Are you talking about make-believe "left-winger" ideologies again?

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN that kids who take "chastity pledges" are MORE LIKELY to engage in RISKY sex...
Try to let that to sink in...

How the heck are you going to "make it incrementally and measurably more difficult" for a teenager to have sex???

Oh wait.
You're just shooting off your mouth again with no idea what the heck you're saying, alleging opposing view-points which are nowhere near realistic about actual "left-wing" philosophy...
Aren't you...
