Doyle refuses funding for abstinence-only education
Under SPRANS, teachers would be required to exclusively promote abstinence as “the only certain way to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and other associated health problems,” according to a WFPRHA statement.
“The issue is it requires abstinence-only education, and really the best model for preventing pregnancy and STDs is having multiple approaches,” said Stephanie Marquis, spokesperson for the Department of Heath and Family Services. “It’s not really a moral decision for us, it’s about [people’s] health.”
“When you have a population of high school students, you have some fairly sexually experienced people in that group,” he said. “When a teacher comes in there and starts with the premise that we’re going to teach you abstinence-only sex education, you’ve lost the battle before you start.”
Enough said. I dont even need to post more.
