The Trump administration has published its new plan for fighting teen pregnancy and its message to teens is clear: don’t have sex.

Anyone who wants federal government money to fight teen pregnancy must choose from two approaches that includes preventing teens from having sex, or persuading them to stop.

Sex education advocates say it looks a lot like the abstinence-only approach they feared it would be. And they say they don’t understand why programs that had been demonstrated to work are being tossed aside for a whole new approach.

The new directive comes in the form of what’s called a funding opportunity announcement, and it stresses “new and innovative strategies” that will focus on stopping teens from having sex at all.

4. Because that worked so well in the past.

Let's dredge up some more bad ideas from the past. We have the "Just Say No" movement coming back. Abstinence only and trickle down.

Nothing like failed past policy to ensure future failures.

5. It is not a whole new approach.

Abstinence-only was pushed into the schools by the theocrats and demonstrably failed everywhere it replaced actual sex education.

6. Holy shit why didn't anyone think of that before?

Trying to stop teens from having sex is akin to trying to stop time, sounds reasonable but IT NEVER WORKS.

7. I don't understand what the problem is...

The abstinence message is to only have sex when you're married. Trump had ALL of his affairs when he was married.

8. If you do make sure you have

a lawyer who will pay for an abortion and silence .

9. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Do as I say, not as I do. He is such a repulsive piece of shit.

This has never worked and never will. Idiocracy.
