    How about...

    we give abstinence-only advocates an STD. nothing serious; i am thinking a mild case of the clap. then, we can ask them if they'd like to get rid of it, and hand them some antibiotics. after that, we can ask them if they'd like to ever have avoided it in the first place, and we give them a condom. if they refuse the condom? we give them herpes.

    simple.
