This would be a complete about face for the Bush Administration. They have been a staunch supporter of the abstinence method.
I recall one of their first actions in office was to halt foreign aid to organizations that promoted birth control rather than abstinence (I may be remembering that incorrectly).
Personally, I've never understood abstinence only policy. I can see that it should be a part of the lesson, that it is the only method guaranteed not to get you pregnant or down with an STD... but let's be realistic. Safe sex and birth control are, to my mind, essential.
