The GOP sold shit, and Ohio fed it to their kids

Ohio's abstinence programs faulted
Case study cites use of false data


What they told the kids:

HIV can be transmitted through “tears and open-mouth kissing. WRONG!!

Contraceptives are to blame for mental health problems in teens. WRONG

Taking the pill will increase a girl’s future chances of infertility. WRONG

Students should just “follow God’s plan for purity". In the PUBLIC SCHOOLS!? WRONG

If, God forbid, in a few years the public schools are full of pregnant 14 year olds and the clinics full of high school aged HIV/AIDS patients , I hope the people of Ohio know where to lay the blame.
