Joe noted below that Bush is pushing for more abstinence-only education. The article notes that the Bushies want more money even though we don't yet know if the education even works. In response, there's this very cute, but absolutely lie of a comment, from Bush's folks at HHS:
"We don't need a study, if I remember my biology correctly, to show us that those people who are sexually abstinent have a zero chance of becoming pregnant or getting someone pregnant or contracting a sexually transmitted disease," said Wade Horn, the assistant secretary of Health and Human Services in charge of federal abstinence funding.Cute, but an absolute lie. People aren't worried that abstinence doesn't prevent pregnancy. They're worried that abstinence-only education doesn't promote abstinence, you jerk. Of course, Horn knows that, but from this administration, don't expect to get a straight answer on anything.
You voted for it, you own it.
