Funding for abstinence

Societal Rubbernecking: When liberals took over Congress and the White House, they zeroed out abstinence education and increased the already massive funding for questionable 'comprehensive' sex education that in part tells teens that 'showering together' is a 'green light' activity and often provides inaccurate information about condom effectiveness rates. In 2010 the government funded sex-ed programs to the tune of $874.1 million compared to the $50 million Title V state abstinence program.

As if this isn't enough, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebellius is proposing to use a 'preventive care' slush fund in Obamacare for yet another $110 million for 'teen pregnancy prevention' in 2012. And in a bow to both pro-abortion and pro-same-sex 'marriage' activists, Secretary Sebellius just announced a rule forbidding grantees under the 'Healthy Marriage Initiative' welfare reform program from teaching abstinence until marriage education.
