fast facts and cool stuff

May 4th, 2007 Zogby International released the results of a telephone survey of 1002 parents of children ages 10-16.

For the full report, click here:

1. 9 out of 10 parents want their child to be abstinent.

2. 8 out of 10 parents think it is important for their child to wait until marriage before having sex.

3. 8 out of 10 parents want schools to place MORE emphasis on promoting abstinence than on contraceptive use.

4. 8 out of 10 parents do not think teens will use condoms consistently.

5. 2 out of 3 parents believe a "wait to have sex" message is lost when combined with promoting and demonstrating how to use condoms.

6. 2 out of 3 parents believe promoting alternatives to intercourse (such as showering together and mutual masturbation --- practices presented in some comprehensive sex education [CSE] programs) encourages teens to engage in that sexual activity.

7. 6 out of 10 parents want more funding for abstinence education while only 2 out of 10 want more funding for comprehensive sex education.

8. 93% of parents agree sex education should include a discussion about the limitations of condoms in preventing specific STDs. (Disturbingly evident in the study was that 25% of parents were unaware that condoms have different failure rates for different diseases and pregnancy.)

Many large health organizations, like Planned Parenthood, receive government funding to teach sex education… all while providing abortion services, administering birth control and treating STDs.

Yes, every $17 B-I-L-L-I-O-N year is paid to the people our kids are told to go to when "safe sex" FAILS. The clinic who treats them is supposed to use that money to teach “safe sex.” 

That means, when the inevitable proportion of teens become pregnant or infected... the same organization will receive federal and/or state funding to eliminate the consequences of teaching "safe sex."

Hmmm.  Does that seem like a "conflict of interest"?

And while concurrently operating their sex education program and clinical treatment facilities, these organizations are trying to "de-fund" the $177 million spent to promote sexual self-control.

Sounds like great work if you can get it.
