The National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA) issued an alert over the matter on Wednesday, noting that Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) abstinence education funds were cut from the budget.
This article is about Obama cutting funding for abstinence programs and the response they have to it.
“The president’s move to eliminate Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) abstinence programs is completely out of touch with what his base wants, what parents want, and what is in the best interest of America’s youth,” stated NAEA president Valerie Huber. “It’s troubling that the president would want to prevent students from receiving the encouragement and skills to avoid sexual risk.”
The Article goes on to give statistics about abstinence programs and how they prevent teen pregnancy and how girls are less likely to engage in "Sexual Risk" behavior when they have had abstinence preaching.
