Yeah. Especially considering it's Pres. Bush's religious fundamentalism that is helping spread AIDS in African countries.
Jean, sex abstinence for unmarried persons sounds like a GOOD policy to me. What do you have against it?
That's probably be the fact ab-only programs provide false information and don't work, for starters.
"Many of the programs were in a stage of early development when the evaluation occurred," wrote Robert Rector, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, in a critique of the report. He added that the fact that participants in the programs were quite young, and follow-up education was lacking could have contributed to the failure.
"The main lesson that should be taken from this study is that interventions at a very early age require significant follow-up, or they'll be less likely to alter teen risk behaviors," he wrote.
Jean, could the above not explain your "don't work" argument? As for the "false information", could it not be that some are given to irresponsible exaggerations?
Should we dump "the baby with the bathwater" here?
