Should the Federal Government financially support Comprehensive Sex Education?
Yes, because every study conducted has either been unable to produce evidence that Abstinence Only Sex Education works or the results show that Abstinence Only does not work and 88% of teens who took virginity pledge still had sex before marriage. Most groups that support Abstinence Only Sex Education have a religious bias and ignore the facts and results of the studies taken.
