If Congress approves President Obama's budget requests, there will be no more federal funding of abstinence-only education programs.
Barack Obama has recommended completely zeroing out Title V abstinence programs to states, as well as abstinence education programs to community-based organizations (CBAE) and replacing them with more than $100 million for contraceptive-based sex-education programs. The massive omnibus bill signed by the president had already reduced funding to abstinence programs by $14 million.

Good for him.
Maybe someone should propose a line of "Choose Abstinence" license plates.
