Abstination
Abstination:
Not a real word in any language. A composite of Abstinence and the suffix -tion.

Abstain is to refrain from something by one's own choice
Abstinence is the act of... implying the practice of refraining from indulging or desire, action on the noun abstain.
This means that the -tion suffix has been miss-applied to a noun when there is a correct version of which is already a defined word.
First use was by the religious right in a Moral Majority news letter.
This would bring us to another word:
Ignorance: The lack of knowledge, information or education by choice; a state of ignorance.
Logical conclusion: The moral majority was created by god during the period of "Intelligent Design" and gave them the ability to choose ignorance.

Abstinence
It's a choice god dammit. Who cares if someone is a fat churchie, an atheist, skinny or whatever. It doesn't matter. If someone chooses abstinence good for them, if not, shut the fuck up.

Shut the hell up you whiny bastards. Abstinence is a choice that you can't force people to make. And for the sake of argument, I'm still a virgin so you can't say I'm on the side of having sex either.
