It's always the tossed in fact at the end that you neglect to thoroughly fact-check. So while I went back to my sources to check exactly what the abstinence failing 88% of the time statistic was referring to, I managed to miss that last year New York *did* join the list of states rejecting abstinence-only federal funds. I looked up several stories on those rejections, but apparently none had a complete list.

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

Anyhow, now you know. And, as the person writing to me pointed out, this means the Health Teens Act and its funding is even more important, because there's no federal funding coming in.
