Over at Amplify, we've just launched a new video series using actual content from actual abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.
No animated talking bears have been harmed by abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. Only students.
We're excited to share the first installment in this new series with the community here at DailyKos. Please feel free to repost this far and wide on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
To date, the United States has wasted more that $1.5 billion on abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, despite two glaring facts:
- Study after study has shown these programs to be ineffective, and
- Abstinence-only programs violate young people's basic rights by intentionally withholding potentially life-saving information about condoms and contraception.
