No New Money for Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Programs

No New Money for Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Programs

The U.S. Office of Population Affairs began administering the Adolescent Family Life Act (AFLA) in 1981. This program was designed to prevent teen pregnancy by promoting chastity and self-discipline.[1] During its first year, AFLA received $11 million in federal funds. In fiscal year 2000, AFLA received $19 million.


See, the Republicans have wanted to go back to at least the 50's since Reagan. The U.S. Office of Population Affairs sounds like a terribly scary place. The world is insane. Fight back where you can. Buy condoms for teenagers. Or something.
