“Trittydi Says:
Outstanding – why throw good money away? All the studies show that abstinence does not work.”
Actually, it works every time it’s tried.

Actually, it doesn’t work every time it is tried. It works every time it is actually done, but many people who try abstinence fail to actually remain abstinent.

Is that really the best you can do? You can’t refute the endless studies that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that AO education as opposed to comprehensive sex education doesn’t prevent teen sex, and increases STD infection and teen pregnancy, so you harp on a clear typo.

If this is the best job that you can do making an argument, and if this type of criticism is all you can come up with (clearly it is, and all issues you people seem to raise at this point are just as idiotic and pointless), then you should go ahead and congratulate the Democratic Party for their permenant majority, and we’ll go ahead and thank you for giving it to us.

Well we certainly don’t want to be teaching our teens to abstain from sex. That could lead to less abortions, now couldn’t it?

Actually, Abstinence Only ed has led to increased numbers of STDs and teen pregnancies.

I taught my own sons that sexual activity while still in their teens was not a good idea, since most teens are not mature enough to handle such relationships, but I also taught them about responsibility, sex, and birth control — because I live in the real world, and remember what it was like to be a teenager.

Only morons like you would actually think we find joy in abortion. I guess that would equate to accusing YOU of celebrating STDs and unwanted pregnancy as a “punishment” for having sex.

Well we certainly don’t want to be teaching our teens to abstain from sex. That could lead to less abortions, now couldn’t it?

Ladies and Gentlemen. What we have here is a clear cut case of the classic oxymoron coming from a classic MORON.

FACT: Sex Ab Edu DOES NOT WORK. DEAL WITH IT MORON!

“Obama’s budget eliminates funding for abstinence education programs”

it could be interpreted 2 ways as you can see?

I think all sexual education must fully include both the latest science as well as a strong message that waiting is a more healthy choice? To say “kids are going to do it anyways” is just ignorant but to also say “if we tell them not to do it…we are doing our jobs of helping them become fully informed”…. is just as ignorant!

JMHO

In total, the Obama budget proposes $164 million for teen-pregnancy prevention. Of that, about 25% would be open to abstinence-only programs, which would have to compete with other initiatives. The rest of the money is reserved for programs that have been proved “through rigorous evaluations” to be successful, the administration proposal says.

Hooray for you! A twofer!

If you had bothered to read the story, you might have noticed that the funding was stopped for abstinence ONLY programs.
EVERY sex ed class encourages abstinence and also encourages safe sex.
Dipshit!
