In recent days, what with a new president not being newsworthy enough fodder to attack the Conservative Values of normal Americans.... EVERY major news outlet has jumped on some inaccurate reports regarding Abstinence Education efforts.
This article in the WSJ gets to the real information that was used to skew the National News Media's biased anti-abstinence-pro-"planned (non)parenthood" funding campaign...
An exerpt -
Like a pack of randy 15-year-old boys, the press dives right in.
"Virginity Pledges Don't Stop Teen Sex," screams CBS News. "Virginity
pledges don't mean much," adds CNN. "Study questions virginity pledges," says
the Chicago Tribune. "Premarital Abstinence Pledges Ineffective, Study Finds,"
heralds the Washington Post. "Virginity Pledges Fail to Trump Teen Lust in Look
at Older Data," reports Bloomberg. And on it goes.
In other words, teens will be teens, and moms or dads who believe that
concepts such as restraint or morality have any application today are living in
a dream world. Typical was the lead for the CBS News story: "Teenagers who take
virginity pledges are no less sexually active than other teens, according to a
new study."Here's the rub: It just isn't true.
