Radical Conservative Claims That Proponents of Sex Education Want Kids to Get STDs in Order to Advance the Abortion Agenda
Reported by Marie Therese - January 1, 2008 -
There are some people in this country who are are so blinded by their belief in the abstinence agenda that they have left the world of reality and entered a state of delusion. That's the only way to describe Concerned Women for America President, Wendy Wright, who appeared on the December 31st edition of Special Report. Miss Wright, in all seriousness, said this about those who support comprehensive sex ed in the schools: "In fact, they want to encourage [kids to choose to have sex] because they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions, so you have to look at the financial motives behind those who are promoting comprehensive sex ed."
Those sharp minds at the Concerned Women For America are on to us! Yes! We're secretly promoting comprehensive sex ed because we want to cause as many unwanted pregnancies as possible!
The only problem is that our dastardly plans aren't working! In fact, they're having the opposite effect!
Sex Education Works, Study Shows
Teens Who Have Formal Sex Education Delay Sexual Activity, Researchers Find
WebMD) Sex education is effective, increasing the chances that teens will delay having sexual intercourse at least until they reach age 15, according to a new study.
"We were encouraged that sex education is working," says Trisha Mueller, MPH, an epidemiologist at the CDC in Atlanta who led the study. "Sex education should continue to be implemented."

Their major findings, published in the January issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health:
Teenage girls who received sex education had a 59% reduced risk of having sexual intercourse before age 15 compared with those who did not get sex education before their first intercourse.
For teenage boys, sex ed before first intercourse had a 71% reduced risk of having intercourse before age 15 compared with those boys who did not get sex ed before their first intercourse.
For high-risk groups, the benefit was even greater. African-American urban teenage girls who got sex ed before their first intercourse had an 88% reduced risk of having sex before age 15, Mueller says, compared with those who did not get the training.
Teenage boys who were in school or had graduated and had sex ed were about three times more likely to use birth control when they first had sex compared with those who were in school or had graduated and didn't get sex ed.
Curses! Foiled again!
