Some Abstinence Programs Mislead Teens, Report Says
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," a congressional staff analysis has found.
Why use facts when you can just lie to the "dumb" kids? It's not like they would, you know, not listen to adults or anything.
