A federal judge in Washington on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration’s recent changes to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, which hit groups around the country that teach classes on healthy relationships, abstinence and contraception.
The Trump administration, he wrote “is perfectly entitled to formulate its own views about how to stem teen pregnancy — or even whether it is worth preventing at all — and to pursue policy initiatives consistent with its viewpoint. But it is not at liberty, under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), to impose conditions on grant recipients that Congress did not intend or that are unreasonable or unexplained.”
Maybe Trump should have practiced abstinence.
Holy shit they WANT teen pregnancy to be a thing again. They wrote it down.
Fewer rapes and paedophiles get reported and caught when you don’t teach sex ed.
That’s a fact.
I wonder why the rape-paodophile administration would be trying to reduce sex ed. 🤔
Maybe, previously, the government actually didn’t know, and wanted to do the right thing. Like before the 90s. But then we found out that, that didn’t work at all.
And NOW, the government does know, but so does the administration. The president knows the effects, and DOESN’T want to do the right thing.
We are in a terrible timeline. Presidential Administration of Child Predators. PACP.
Before the 1890s
My high school experience involved a few girls that were taught abstinence at home and at church. They were the wild ones.
Honestly when has this NOT been the case? It’s heard and quoted absolutely everywhere. The most sheltered are always the freakiest
Wild in an abstinent and chaste way, right?
you are talking about the fact that um… certain sex acts dont count as losing your chastity right. These days onlyfans also doesnt count and is a fairly accepted way to make money.
Anyone who seriously advocates for abstinence only education is not qualified to speak on policy. That’s it.
We really need to do something so we have fewer scumbags and fools running our government.
A great cautionary tale is Bristol Palin (Sarah Palin’s daughter), who became pregnant while unmarried and later became the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ambassador for an organization promoting abstinence-only education.
That was a great decision financially - she was paid more than $1/4 million per year, but even that kind of paycheck, her born-again nutcase mother, and the evangelical church couldn’t make abstinence work. She became pregnant with a 2nd child while still unmarried and while still getting paid for promoting abstinence-only. Imagine the outrage if that had been Obama’s daughter!
Actually since she walked away with $1 million plus, maybe it isn’t such a great cautionary tale.
Same people who know and forgive Trump’s adult excursions somehow beleive that teenagers should just show more self control.
Nothing causes unwanted babies that turn into for-profit prison slaves quite like abstinence-only sex Ed. It’s the long con but someone probably paid good money to try and get Tangerine Palpatine to push it through.
Jesus fucking Christ what year is it
The Krenim killed Harambe?
We have that abstinence only thing down here in the South.
It’s why my friend was HIV positive at 22, before understanding the basics of how he could get HIV.
Telling me when I was 16 to never think about sex or consider having would not have worked very well. In fact it probably would have made have sex sooner and in a more crazed manner.
That’s what they want
They want the product of unsafe sex: fetuses they can sue an unprepared couple over because they care about aborting a mass of cells more than the lives of the people who purposefully weren’t informed.
“Abstinence only” only works for these people because they can’t get any to begin with. Holy hell.
Peak irony coming from a prolific philanderer and rapist.
That’s because those teens might give up those babies and wealthy horrid conservatives will buy them for astronomical fees to try and make them grow up as shitty as they are. Big business, selling kids to wealthy pieces of shit.
