That's the new guidance for states under the Department of Health and Human Services' $50 million Abstinence Education Program....

What provision of the Constitution empowers the Federal Government to spend $50 million on an Abstinence Education Program? For that matter, what in the Constitution authorizes the creation of a Department of Health and Human Services?

We can debate the propriety of such efforts at the state level, but I hope we can all agree that this is something the FEDERAL government shouldn't be involved in. I don't want the Feds getting involved in ANY aspect of my personal life, whether it's to teach me how to use a condemn or to persuade me to be chaste.

Let's start a movement!

If sex is outlawed, only outlaws will have sex!

You will pry my genitals from my cold dead hands

Let hose who ride decide!

None of them.
