When the “Abstainers” Aren’t the “Refrainers”

We’ve learned recently that a healthy skepticism is being shown by a growing number of states on the “abstinence only” sex education programs which are federally funded. We wonder what is causing that. They, the states, you see, have been distancing themselves from these funds because boys and girls in the program are doing just the opposite, to each other that is. In fact according to the Washington Post at least 15 of the 50 million dollars or so ear marked are not being taken. Also, on point is that after a 14 year decline, teenage pregnancy is getting more frequent, according to Federal Health officials. We hope the right wing does not wonder what is causing that.
