Cognitive Dissonance: "Just Say No"

Cognitive dissonance is when the people who push for comprehensive sex education, government employer-subsidized contraceptives and abortions on demand advise women to "just say no" to sex with pro-lifers. Erm, I thought the whole point was that we all couldn't "just say no." After, if people would "just say no" in the form of abstaining, then we really wouldn't have any use for these so-called services, or at the very least would have drastically fewer uses for them:

"But women, take heed: Don't give in if your man, boyfriend, husband, toyboy is not voting for your best interests, your reproductive health -- do not sleep with that man! I don't care how cute or charming he is! I don't care if he is your husband of many years. Resist! Go swimming! Meditate!"

Suddenly, people are capable of abstinence! Unless, that is, Norris is implicitly advising these women to cheat. But then, I guess they don't particularly care who tells women whom to sleep with and whom not to sleep with (so long as it's not a church doing the telling). They only care about being told not to get an abortion afterwards: they want the cause without all of the effects.
