[Health] If You Can Believe George Bush is President, Why Couldn't You Believe a 43-Day-Old Fetus is a Thinking Person?
Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) has released a report on taxpayer-funded abstinence programs.
Many American youngsters participating in federally funded abstinence-only programs have been taught over the past three years that abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, that half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus, and that touching a person's genitals can result in pregnancy ..... The report concluded that two of the curricula were accurate but the 11 others, used by 69 organizations in 25 states, contain unproved claims, subjective conclusions or outright falsehoods regarding reproductive health, gender traits and when life begins. "I don't think we ought to lie to our children about science," said Waxman.
Hell, if we tell them the truth about sex, what else will be we have to tell them the truth about?
