An abstinence education organization says a recent report by Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) demonstrates how fearful abstinence opponents are of the positive results of the abstinence education movement.
Waxman said in a report, Dec. 1, that abstinence programs are driven by ideology. He specifically mentioned to two teen programs, created by Project Reality.
"The motivation behind these attacks is the fact that abstinence programs are being supported by the Bush administration and are growing in number because of their cost-effective impact,” claims Libby Gray, director of Project Reality.
“This upsets groups who have been exclusively receiving federal funding for contraception promotion and education in the past," she said.
