Planned Parenthood Action NetworkAction Home | Join PPAN | Update Profile | Privacy Policy Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Planned Parenthood Action Network.The short explanation of this alert was:
More than two-thirds of federally funded abstinence-only programs distort information and mislead young people by giving them false information about abortion and contraception, particularly about the effectiveness of condoms. Abstinence-only programs that give too little or wrong information to young people can have life-threatening effects. And they are out of line with the values of average Americans. It's time to raise our collective voices and let our government know the truth — REAL SEX ED SAVES LIVES. Urge your representative in Congress to decrease funding for programs that distort the truth and call for an investigation into programs that provide deceptive information.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) recently released a study that proves what other research has already revealed — abstinence-only programs are irresponsible and harmful to young people. Waxman's study reviews the content of government-funded abstinence-only programs and the news isn't good.
