Putting Prevention First Act' is Deceptive
Bill contains a 'family' amendment that is anything but.
Colorado Springs — Congress’ Pro-Choice Caucus today resurrected for consideration a deceptive amendment to the “Putting Prevention First Act” known as the “Family Life Education Act” (FLEA) of 2001.
“Just as when it was first introduced as HR 3469, this amendment likely will use euphemisms to veil its true purposes,” said Linda Klepacki, manager of Focus on the Family's abstinence policy department.
“Neither the word ‘marriage’ nor even the concept of the institution ever showed up in the original FLEA bill. The word ‘family’ appeared nowhere other than in the bill’s title. References to abstinence were vague. The bill never defined abstinence and left the duration open to be interpreted as the bill’s supporters usually do: ‘abstain until you are ready for sex.’”
While the new bill’s title, “Putting Prevention First Act,” stresses prevention, the FLEA portion of the bill aims to reduce -- not prevent -- pregnancies, STDs and abortions.
“Disguising a risk-reduction program as a risk-prevention program is a common ploy for ‘safe-sex’ promoters. In marketing jargon, such sleight of hand is known as bait and switch,” Klepacki said.
But the deception in the “Putting Prevention First Act,” she added, goes deeper than the disparity between the title and the content.
“A press release from the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) for the ‘Putting Prevention First Act’ claims that ‘no federal funding stream exists dedicated to comprehensive sexuality education programs,’” Klepacki said. “But a recent Heritage Foundation report reveals that for every dollar the government spends on abstinence it spends 12 dollars on ‘safe sex’ and contraception.
“Over the last half-dozen years, ‘safe-sex’ promoters have had to share some of those federal and state sex education funds with abstinence educators,” she added. “The ‘Putting Prevention First Act’ is just the latest in ‘safe-sex’ promoters’ many ploys aimed at regaining their monopoly.”

No sex until marriage dammit and don't tell the kids about it, let them get married right out of HS and have multiple divorces (it's all OK as long as they don't fornicate, terminate or become homosexual).
