Are you 20-29 years old? Unmarried? The government has a message for you.
Namely, don't have sex. At all.
Abstinence message goes beyond teens
The federal government's "no sex without marriage" message isn't just for kids anymore.
Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only programs, which include millions of dollars in federal money that will be available to the states under revised federal grant guidelines for 2007.
The government says the change is a clarification. But critics say it's a clear signal of a more directed policy targeting the sexual behavior of adults.
I can understand the desire to keep teenagers from having sex. But adults? They're throwing $50 million at this. It's crazy.
Aren't conservatives generally against a nanny state? If so, then how do you reconcile something like this?
