Since President Bush took office, Congress has spent a whopping 778 million of your tax dollars on ineffective abstinence-only programs!

While Congress has been on a spending spree, studies show that many abstinence-only programs include medically inaccurate and misleading information. Even worse, independent research shows that students in these classes are not more likely to abstain from sex or delay when they become sexually active.

We are working closely with key members of Congress to turn the tide on abstinence-only funding, but right-wing groups won’t let this happen without a fight. Groups like the Family Research Council are holding “Abstinence Day” on Capitol Hill on May 22, where they will try to overwhelm lawmakers with one-on-one lobby visits and flood phone lines with calls from anti-choice activists.

We can beat the right wing’s efforts, but we need your help today. Ask your members of Congress to stop funding abstinence-only programs.
