obama abstinence
Should abstinence proponents receive government funding if funding for abortion is abolish?
Proponents of sex education classes that focus on encouraging teenagers to remain virgins until marriage are hoping that the rescue plan for the nation’s health-care system will also save their programs, which are facing extinction because of a cutoff of federal funding.
The health-care reform legislation pending in the Senate includes $50 million for programs that states could use to try to reduce pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease among adolescents by teaching to them to delay when they start having sex.
Under the federal budget signed by President Obama, such programs would no longer have funds targeted for them.
No, abstinence programs have proven to be the LEAST effective sex education programs. The studies I have read in the last 2 years show that the kids pledge abstinence then go out and have sex at a much higher rate than those who had NO Sex Education at all.
