For God’s sake:
“Mr. Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services is quietly advancing an anti-science, ideological agenda. The department last year prematurely ended grants to some teen pregnancy prevention programs, claiming weak evidence of success. More recently, it set new funding rules that favor an abstinence-only approach. In reality, programs that use creative ways to educate teenagers about contraception are one reason teen pregnancy in the United States has plummeted in recent years.
The administration is promoting a “just say no” approach to adults as well as to teenagers. It’s poised to shift Title X family planning dollars — funds largely intended to help poor adult women around the United States get birth control — toward programs that advocate abstinence outside of marriage, as well as unreliable forms of birth control like the rhythm method (though the health agency might have to reverse course if either of the lawsuits filed against it last week by Planned Parenthood and other women’s health advocates are successful).”
1) I’m a Christian. However I like to deal in reality. Teens are going to have sex. Abstinence only education is about the most counter productive thing to “solve” teen pregnancy rates.
2) “Just say no” is their new slogan. Really? Teenagers, say not to sex? I mean, really?
2b) They went with a slogan used for the war on drugs from when I was in elementary school. Facepalm.
3) “did Obama do it? Then undo it!” is about the only slogan Republicans seem to have these days.
3b) the article states that teen pregnancy rates dropped 50% (!!!) from 2007-2017, due in large part to the grant funded program the Obama administration made happen.
4) and, yea, the first paragraph.
