So Congress has a hearing on abstinence-only sex education funding. And they bring to the hearing health experts who say:
Programs teaching U.S. schoolchildren to abstain from sex have not cut teen pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases or delayed the age at which sex begins, health groups told Congress on Wednesday.
But Congress wants to keep federal funding on these anyway. Okay, in one way that is what we elect them for, to be our voice. I don't agree, but someone voted for these guys. But I do love this arguement...
Rep. John Duncan, a Tennessee Republican, said that it seems “rather elitist” that people with academic degrees in health think they know better than parents what type of sex education is appropriate. “I don’t think it’s something we should abandon,” he said of abstinence-only funding.
If you don't wnat an answer, then don't ask the question. (From yahoo news.)
