Wouldn't It Be Nice If They Just Focused on Teaching Kids Reading, History, and Math?

Another stupid Democrat trick:

Clearly, it's in society's interest to discourage teen sex. Teens themselves realize this: According to a Zogby poll, more than 90 percent of them say that society should teach kids to abstain from sex until they have, at least, finished high school. Parents want a stronger message: Almost nine in 10 want schools to teach youth to abstain from sex until they're married or in an adult relationship that is close to marriage.

Given the almost universal popularity of abstinence education, it seems strange that Senator Max Baucus (D., Mont.) soon will introduce legislation that would effectively abolish federal abstinence-education programs. These programs supply nearly all the governmental support for teaching abstinence in U.S. schools.

The Baucus anti-abstinence plan would take federal funds that are devoted to teaching abstinence and turn them over to state public-health bureaucracies to spend as they will. Since these bureaucracies have been wedded for decades to "safe sex" and fiercely opposed to teaching abstinence, the implications of this change are obvious.

Here's the real deal:

If you have a baby as a teenager, odds are you'll be a loyal Democrat the rest of your life as you're far likelier to be poor, alone, and in need of government assistance.

Doing the right thing on teen abstinence means risking the minting of young Republicans, something the DNC cannot countenance.
