Barack Obama just released the numbers for his new 2010 budget, and while everything in it isn’t peachy, I have some great news for you:
Abstinence-only funding has been ELIMINATED.
Community Based Abstinence Education funding is GONE.
Title V abstinence-only funding is GONE.
Not only are all of the abstinence-only funds eliminated, but $173 million dollars will now be going to teen pregnancy prevention programs around the country that don’t have to adhere to the ridiculous standards that were there before.
