Abstinence Programs Stretch the Facts

The Bush administration will provide $170 million next year to groups that teach abstinence only.

Some courses teach that touching a person's genitals can lead to pregnancy, abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, and half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus.

Waxman's staff found the curricula included misconceptions such as a 43-day-old fetus is a "thinking person," HIV can be spread through tears and sweat, and condoms failed to prevent HIV transmission in 31 percent of the time in heterosexual intercourse.
