Abstinence-only education — encouraging adolescents to wait until marriage for sex — is making a comeback under President Trump.
In a marked departure from the previous administration, conservatives at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are putting an emphasis on abstinence to reduce teen pregnancy rates.
“We definitely are seeing a shift,” said Kelly Marcum, a government affairs legislative assistant at the Family Research Council in Washington, which supports abstinence-only education.
“We’re really excited to see that the administration is giving some tools back to us to keep pushing that fight.”
So far, the administration has encouraged organizations applying for Title X federal family planning funds to include in their programs a “meaningful emphasis” on “the benefits of avoiding sex” when communicating with adolescents and to use programs that don’t “normalize sexual risk behaviors.”
The Trump administration also plans to release its first report early this summer as part of a $10 million research project looking at ways to improve sex education programs, with a focus on the impact of “sexual delay.”
Yeah because that whole "wait until marriage" thing worked out so well in the past.
Telling kids that they cannot do something only makes that something even more desirable.
Anybody who has ever had, or ever been, a teenager knows that.
And if this approach is at all similar to past approaches it will focus mostly on shaming the girls, and give the guys a pass because they are not considered the gatekeepers of abstinence.
But hey if they are looking for an effective deterrent to sexual activity just show that image of Trump at the top of the page to the students.
One look at that and NOBODY is horny anymore.
It sure worked for Bristol, now didn’t it? Look at her now, and she even said that abstinence was unrealistic to GVS until Mommie Dearest swooped in and corrected what she “really meant.”
ReplyDeleteThe point is abstinence works until it doesn't. Bristol Palin is a great example.

ReplyDeleteSex amongst teens has already been decreasing since 06-07. Each new generation sees a decrease according To stats. Then you have teen fathers saying “everyone has sex in high school.” His kids will love throwing that in his face as justification.
ReplyDeleteEven though Bristol wasn’t on Bc in school (no need) even she made always said contraceptives are needed.
ReplyDeleteYou moron,Bristol has already said she was on BC at 15 to regulate her periods.

Delete"'I was using birth control when I got pregnant': Bristol Palin tells Barbara Walters about accident that led to birth of her son

Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol has admitted she was using birth control when she became pregnant by accident.
She told TV chat show host Barbara Walters how the mistake led to the birth of her son Tripp, now three years old.
Bristol, 20, said: 'I was on birth control when I got pregnant yeah, but it obviously was not used effectively.'

"Bristol Palin is opening up about her ex-fiance Levi Johnston, losing her virginity and her mother Sarah Palin’s vice presidential run in her new memoir "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far."
DeleteAmong the most personal details Palin reveals is the story of losing her virginity: The 20-year-old writes that she was on a camping trip with Johnston and drank too many wine coolers. She later woke up in the tent alone and could hear Johnston talking with friends outside. She had no memory of what happened.
They both vowed to wait until marriage to have sex again, but that didn't hold. When she got pregnant with their son Tripp, it took eight at-home pregnancy tests to convince her it was really happening, she said. She had been on birth control for cramps and never expected to conceive."
But, Palin writes, they became intimate again shortly after. When she learned she was pregnant in 2008, Palin was on birth control pills prescribed to treat her cramps; it took eight home pregnancy tests to convince her that she was expecting.

Delete7:00 AM - I can write that I'm a perfect 36-24-36, too. Doesn't make it so. Who believes one word out of a Palin maw?
DeleteI don't believe anything Bristol or her script writers say. She may or may not have been on birth control.
DeleteI know for sure they lie.
Bristol can't write or talk for herself. They need to not only write the Bristol Levi fiction. They need to write about the other known knock ups when she was not married. They claim it was Dakota Meyer, that is questionable. They can still write about the birth control she did not use while unmarried and pretending she would not have sex outside of marriage.
DeleteShe probably does not know who the father's are. Lucky for her that no one will come forward and contradict her story. Dakota is going to claim he is the father of the 2 girls and leave it at that. What matters is the Abstinence Princess and her experiencing and teaching about birth control.
@6:27 AM Tri-Gger!
DeleteSo I know a relative of Levi and a friend of the Heaths. At the time, they both said that Bristol and Levi actually planned the pregnancy. Stunningly dumb idea, and hard for most of us to believe, but when the Palin's are involved, no amount of stupidity is to be disbelieved.
DeleteThat could be or not. At what point either Bristol or Levi were making up stories to rationalize that pregnancy and a bastard's birth, I have no way of knowing. I have heard that "planned the pregnancy" one before.
DeleteI don't buy it.
They may have wanted Tripp to read that his parents wanted him when he got older. Or they thought it made them look better to plan a unwed teen pregnancy and have a bastard. Bristol and her religion and all, of course, she would plan to have bastards. She and Sally must have prayed about it. Who knows?
Their relatives and friends have been hearing lies for years and I doubt they know if some have a morsel of truth. The friends could sincerely believe in lies as if they are true.
It is the kind of people they are and they have no interest in clearing up things, even for Tripp's sake.
He is a public person and they want his life story to be a mess of lies. What parents!
I have know doubt they both tell him lies to his face about his life and his family. Why not allow all the lies to go on throughout his life?
I am so thankful I did not end up with parents and family like that.
You can take it to the bank that any time that family opens it mouth, it’s a lie. If $arah is even offered the DOE job, she’ll go down in flames. That’s what happens to the likes of them.
DeleteIt is important though that people hear the fact that abstinence is the only way to absolutely prevent pregnancy. That must be drilled into brains because to date there is no reliant birth control. I conceived twins with an IUD.
ReplyDeleteThese days though more than half homes aren’t traditional. I’d even say probably 80% of homes aren’t “traditional.”
Does your pea brain think that "traditional" homes don't result in teen pregnancies? It's funny how the teen pregnancy rate dropped under President Obama,with so many non-traditional homes.
DeletePre-teens and teens that are sexually awakening and choose a partner and want to experience are one thing.
DeleteGirls are raped by family and others starting in infancy. When they are raped after their cycles start, they can end up pregnant at ages like ten. It doesn't matter how hard you drill Abstinence-only into the brain of a child who was raped and ends up pregnant.
Sex education needs to include what happens to these children also. Are they taught they are damned if they "murder" an embryo? Ten year olds are not stupid, they need facts and the ability to have a say in their fate after a traumatic event.
Yeah. Let's stick a dick in a four year olds mouth. Sarah.
DeleteWhy did you kill his brother?
I disagree that it is a waste to also teach abstinence and the advantages of abstinence as an option. I think that the costs of an unintended pregnancy to provide and care for a child should be part of the curriculum including the likelihood of reduced earnings statistically.
ReplyDeleteAs a female more knowledge and expectations to not be an unwed mother certainly deterred me from acting on impulse a lot.
I don't think they mean "option," 4:38 AM, they mean ONLY.
DeleteThey do mean ONLY. I am fine with teaching as long as they teach the facts of abstinence. I wouldn't want to call it an option since it is has been taken over by a narrow minded religious cult.
DeletePeople can be abstinent for a variety of reasons throughout their lives. It is disgusting that it has been co-opted by fanatics of a dying cult with too much power in government.
Trump is an even bigger moron, then I thought possible.

"Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin recently took a similar tack on her Facebook page, writing that the sick and elderly would have to stand before “Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care.”
The New York Times’s Robert Pear and David Herszenhorn have found that those “concerns appear to be unfounded,” noting that the AARP said “the rumors out there are flat-out lies.”
What the House bill would do, according to Mr. Pear and Mr. Herszenhorn, is “provide Medicare coverage for optional consultations with doctors who advise patients on life-sustaining treatment and ‘end-of-life services,’ including hospice care.”
Politifact.com, The St. Petersburg Times’s truth-squadding team, has also looked into statements of Ms. McCaughey, including this one: “Congress would make it mandatory — absolutely require — that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner.”
The group said that Ms. McCaughey was “spreading a ridiculous falsehood.”"
Oh now that is BRILLANT!!! And so who would be the spokesperson for that? Let me guess, sarah and Bristol.

A sellout crowd of 700 is expected... "Sarah Palin will keynote the Palm Beach County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day fundraising dinner on Friday at Mar-a-Lago, the party announced today. There’s no word yet on whether the venue’s owner, President Donald Trump, will be in town this weekend to possibly drop in on the dinner. “Surprise guests are always welcome,” says a county GOP advisory. Trump spoke at the county GOP’s dinner at Mar-a-Lago as a candidate in 2016 and used the occasion to make news, pledging to publicly list potential Supreme Court nominees to assuage conservative concerns. Trump also attended the 2014 dinner at Mar-a-Lago, introducing keynote speaker Ted Cruz. Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, will be joined Friday by Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who faces term limits and has been urged by Trump to run for Senate this year against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson."

This is kinda personal. It is a matter of choice. Unless you have raised your child in a tight controlled environment with deep communication and that child accepts this type of morals and desire to wait until marriage. It will not work. First thought is don't give it away. Second understand human nature. third people rape kids. Maybe don can work on that.

Ga$lighting USa."I was drawn to it at first because I was told that the character was originally written as a man, and that the creators had gender-swapped it. I thought, oh, I like that idea, so I read it. And I was surprised that it was their first film, because the writing was so good. It explored the subject from a different angle that I felt I hadn’t seen before, and represented abuse in a way that I felt was more honest than most because it wasn’t just from one perspective—it was multiple perspectives—and it showed the intimate nature of abuse, and how it’s a virus that spreads from person-to-person in one way or another.
