Abstinence Only


Ohio Democrat Governor Ted Strickland has only been in office for three months but he has inflicted damage on the citizens of Ohio. First, he did away with the school voucher program. Now the “Reverend” and gilded Governor shows his true liberal leftist colors by removing ALL $500,000 for abstinence-only sex education from his proposed state budget, which he presented to the legislature this week. In doing this he is telling Washington to keep your $23,000,000 federal abstinence-only sex education program funds.

This is quite insane. Governor Strickland is taking programs that work and because they do not fit his political agenda and because he must appease the lunatic elements of the far left including radical anti-American organizations such as the NARAL, National Organization of Women (NOW), the National Abortion Federation (NAF), Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and the teacher unions and others.

Does the liberal Governor not understand that an ounce (or in this case, $500,000 + $23,000,000) of prevention is worth a pound (costs of abortion – babies lives and mothers guilt & shame as well as the 10 times the cost of prevention - $300,000,000 to care for the babies not aborted!) of cure?

Does this leftist Governor understand that the abstinence programs are working, that they are helping to reduce teen pregnancies significantly during the past ten years? In returning to the godless Planned Parenthood hedonistic condom-based sex education there will be a rise in abortions (Planned Parenthoods goal!) as well as increased babies to care for which will become welfare recipients (the Guv apparently doesn’t care or cannot make the connection.)

Wise up Governor Strickland and do the RIGHT thing. Stop playing politics. Stop sacrificing lives and money to advance the leftist-socialist cause. It is not worth it.
