I'll preface this with stating that I am incredibly supportive of Planned Parenthood and all the services they offer. Not only do they supply contraceptives, but they spread the word around high schools and really educate kids in a non-fear tactic sort of way. I think it's important for young, sexually active girls to be educated on truth vs. fiction in terms of sexuality, and currently our government is putting their eggs in the wrong basket.
The abstinence education is a joke and studies can prove that in reality it's doing kids a disservice. Check out this link, http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/053107HA.shtml
Bush and his religious views are antiquated, nothing will change in terms of teenagers having sex, if anything we should fund additional resources for education of all sorts, and besides, churches and parents teach abstinence anyway.
Here is a link from an oversight committee, http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:E7kguasvRUAJ:oversight.house.gov/documents/20041201102153-50247.pdf+abstinence+education+failures&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Mainly, it discusses educational inaccuracies and religious lines being blurred, treating theories as facts.
Ok, so enough of the serious stuff, let's get to john stewart's funny funny vid.
