Why are we funding abstinence programs again? And what is abstinence-only sex education in the first palce? Don't have sex until you're 18? Don't have sex until you're married? Don't have sex until you're divorced? Is the motivation to prevent teen pregnancy? And doesn't teen pregnancy break down along socioeconomic lines? Maybe the social geographers can help me out here...
