more on anti-porn hero Judith Reisman's anti choice, pro religious right agenda

[4th law of robotics]

1. This part I really don't get:

Later in the evening, conference attendees were addressed on a video link-up by Bush, who pledged to double federal funding for abstinence-only programs – $168 million is allocated for 2005 – and stated, "Through your educational programs, you reach out to countless young people to give them the support they need to make that responsible choice." Finally, Reisman was honored with an "Abstie Lifetime Achievement Award."

How can abstinence education cost that much?

Does it really cost 168 million to have each sex-ed teacher say "look, the best way not to get STDs or pregnant is not to have sex. If you can do that, great. If not . . . " and then move on to the real education.

It's like spending hundreds of millions on public health by simply telling them not to get sick. How? Where is that money going?
