Obama Did Something Right!

Post by kalm »

Sure it's miniscule, and sure the Department of Education needs to be eliminated, but we can all agree with the Big O on this one, right?
Jessica Boyer, CEO of The Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS), said in a statement that she is “grateful for President Obama’s leadership in seeking to end abstinence-only-until-marriage funding once and for all.

After three decades and nearly $2 billion in federal spending wasted on this failed approach, the President’s proposed budget increases support for programs and efforts that seek to equip young people with the skills they need to ensure their lifelong sexual health and well-being.

Well, as long as we're getting rid of "failed approaches" in the DoE…may I suggest using this instead of a scalpel.

That's why eliminating abstinence only is a win-win. Less abortions and with sane sex Ed, less takers.

Eh, not convinced in this country that it'll make a real difference one way or the other in terms of unwanted pregnancies. We have a special kind of dumb in the US, and it crosses the political aisle, and we can have kids with health classes where they pass around all the different kinds of birth controls and yet still later on they'll not use one and be shocked at the resulting pregnancy. Still the right thing to do, though. :thumb:

Well said. It won't make a difference in our over-sexed and high sexualized culture. It's not a bad idea to teach abstinence only (which the parents should do) but we are intelligent enough to know that kids will not listen to Mom and Dad so the best option is to educate them on the preventive measures.

I'm sure some mom will cry foul at this(and probably a Republican mother) and to her I say: Don't rely on the government to teach your child YOUR values.

Nice quote for a Republican mother...what would you say to an inner city father...or inner city baby momma? :suspicious:

If you really wanted to breed liberals, you'd be opposed to Roe v. Wade. Negro fetuses are aborted at a much higher rate than white fetuses.

Abstinence is the most effective form of birth control. I don't see how that proposition can possibly be debunked.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

No one is debunking that here.

It's also unrealistic to teach.

Agreed. However, horny teens should know how to protect themselves. I don't see why we wouldn't teach that. It's not condoning the behavior.
