Support Community Based Abstinence Education

Representative,

Sir, please support any and all funding for community based abstinence education.

As the House debates the portion of the Labor/HHS bill that includes the funding for Community Based Abstinence Education (CBAE) programs, I hope I can count on your support of the measure.

I also ask that you oppose any amendments that weaken CBAE funding.

Abstinence is the only sure contraceptive and the only sure way to prevent harmful STDs. Abstinence also curbs behaviors that can cause great emotional pain. Abstinence education lets our youth know that they have a choice and can have a way to control what happens to their bodies.
