Hope for our troubled teens? Not if you are sexually active, Gay/Lesbian, and most of all, not assisted by Republicans

Over the past decade we have spent over 1.3 billion in Federal dollars on abstinence-only education, event though these programs are ineffective and often contain false information.

Perhaps Michelle Malkin and her conservative cohorts found Obama's comments on sex education so disturbing because of the president's oh-so impressive record on the issue.

McCain's record is really, really anti-choice. Not only anti-choice, but anti-sex ed, anti-emergency contraception, and anti-women.

The last thing anyone, male or female, needs on a college campus is a rancorous and harmful debate about the merits of sex or no sex.

Is lack of a marriage license so bad for kids that any kind of married parents are better than literally any kind of single one?

America has to get over its squeamishness about teens and sex: not talking about it for the past 20 years has proven ineffective, to say the least.

It remains to be seen what will happen to Mr. Spitzer, although one has to wonder whether violating a law from 1910 is really grounds for resignation or prosecution.

When you look at the rest of the world where teenage childbearing has become a problem of another time, it is maddening to see policymakers in the U.S. so perplexed.
