Citing the fact that the Institute of Medicine, the nation’s leading health authority, had called for the elimination of these programs back in 2000, Wagoner said: “Congress must now move to de-fund these programs. Anything short of eliminating these programs would be a dereliction of its duty to promote public health and protect young people in the era of AIDS”.
The final report is out. And it was snuck out the back door. Why? Because abstinence only is total crap. Doesn't work. Doesn't stop kids having sex. Doesn't stop STDs like the super-clap mentioned last week. Doesn't stop AIDS. Doesn't stop pregnancy. Basically it's sort of like slapping a bandaid (regular size) on a severed limb and saying, "see how well this works!"
Abstinence is a good idea, but you can either include the rest of reality with it or you're more useless than tits on a bull.
Well duh! Its just like why we don't need seat belts. You won't get killed in a car if you never drive! (just ask corzine, Mr. Click it or Ticket.
