Well, she didn't actually say that abstinence is not enough. She said that she wishes that teens would not engage in sex but that expecting abstinence is "totally unrealistic".

I still would like to see the emphasis changed from preventing pregnancy to promoting 'safe sex'.

It is almost a given that a pregnant girl and boy did not practice safe sex. That is what I would like to see the stigma shift to.
