'Abstinence-Only' Questioned
by TChris
A new report explains why "abstinence-only" education has failed to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents.
"The report finds that over two-thirds of these federally funded abstinence programs rely on curricula that distort information about the effectiveness of contraceptives, misrepresent the risks of abortion, blur religion and science, treat stereotypes about girls and boys as scientific fact and contain basic scientific errors," according to the report ordered by US Representative Henry Waxman of California.
