The Bush administration's reaction is classic.Students who participated in sexual abstinence programs were just as likely to have sex as those who did not, according to a study ordered by Congress.
Bush administration officials cautioned against drawing sweeping conclusions from the study, saying the four programs, which are among several hundred across the nation, were some of the very first established after Congress overhauled the nation?s welfare laws in 1996.Yes, the study really shows we need more, not fewer, abstinence programs. We'll call it an abstinence program surge! I see a pattern here.
Officials said one lesson they learned from the study was that the abstinence message should be reinforced in subsequent years.
