Bill zeroes out abstinence-only funding

December 15th, 2009 · No Comments

abstinence_onlyThis is awesome. Congress passed the 2010 Omnibus Appropriations Bill over the weekend that eliminates abstinence-only funding in favor of evidence-based programs. I was scared for a second after the September 30 Senate vote to restore $50 million in abstinence-only dollars…but for the first time since 1981, ab-only dollars will truly be flushed down the drain (provided Barack signs the bill into law).

It’s about effing time, especially in light of this study announced today on CNN. Jesus (no pun intended).
