Tell the Democratic Leadership to end
Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Funding!
The House Labor-Health and Human Services Appropriations Subcommittee is moving forward with a bill that increases funding for the Community-Based Abstinence Education (CBAE) programs even though these programs are ineffective in changing teen behavior, promote scientifically inaccurate information, and withhold critical life-saving information about the effectiveness of condoms in protecting against HIV.
Tell the Democratic Leadership that you stand with the overwhelming majority (82%) of Americans who support giving young people all the facts.
Failure to end abstinence-only funding is a failure of leadership.
