Abstinence Programs Stretch the Facts
Thu Dec 2, 2004 01:12 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Youngsters participating in federally funded abstinence-only sex-education courses frequently receive inaccurate or misleading information, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.

According to a congressional staff analysis, some courses teach that touching a person's genitals can lead to pregnancy, abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, and half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus, the Post said.

The report, prepared for California Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman, reviewed the curricula of more than a dozen projects aimed at preventing teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease, the Post said.

The Bush administration will provide $170 million next year to groups that teach abstinence only. Several million children age 9 to 18 have participated in more than 100 federal abstinence programs since they began in 1999.

The report found that 11 of the 13 most commonly used curricula in such programs contained unproved claims, subjective conclusions or outright falsehoods regarding reproductive health, the Post said.

Waxman's staff found the curricula included misconceptions such as a 43-day-old fetus is a "thinking person," HIV can be spread through tears and sweat and condoms failed to prevent HIV transmission in 31 percent of the time in heterosexual intercourse, the Post said.

"I have no objection to talking about abstinence as a surefire way to prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. I don't think we should lie to our children about science," Waxman told the newspaper.

I hear future programs include important information on masturbation induced blindness and hairy palm syndrome.

C'mon, this is as lame and ineffective as Nancy Reagan's "Just say no" anti-drug campaign. I guess nobody will dare bring up the obvious catering to the right wing morality groups by Pope Dubya. But on the positive side, you can be Otis the town drunk until 40 and still be President of The United States of America and moral leader of the free world.

(You can thank me later Guns.)

WWJD?  He wouldn't publish lies and tell kids it's the truth.  He would, in fact, whip out his divine concecrated M-16 and lay down a hailstorm of hot lead on dirty pre-marital sinners!  BAMBAMBAM! RATTATTAT!  Down goes Holly Hussy and Player Pete.  They would be an example to the rest, of what happens when you touch yourself or others before your priest says it's OK!

In case you're wondering, I'm working on my own version of the bible.  I hope to be the savior of my own religion someday soon!  Who's with me?!

Isn't that supposed to be "Until your priest touches you"?
