    Sarah Palin and abstinence education

    Too bad for Bristol, but this story is relevant because Sarah Palin and her cohorts insist that abstinence education is the only acceptable form of sex education, to the point that your taxes have been diverted to promote abstinence instead of birth control. US funding for international AIDS prevention is also being affected. And now she is confronted with proof that it doesn't work. How has she reconciled her beliefs with reality? And how will this affect her attitude toward the many teens who have valiantly borne babies and are now on public assistance?
