CDC: Abstinence Prevents Some News Conferences By Scott Ott on sex education ScrappleFace News Fairly Unbalanced. We Report. You Decipher. (2008-03-25) — In a week when 76 Democrat lawmakers sent a letter to a House panel urging an end to federal funding for abstinence-education programs, a new study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows that abstinence not only prevents pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases, but it can also radically reduce abortions and some types of news conferences by political figures. “While standard sex-education curricula have a degree of impact on embarassing new conferences,” a CDC spokesman said, “the data show that when politicians actually abstain from extra-marital affairs, liaisons with prostitutes and intimacy with interns, we see a 95-percent reduction in the strain of news conference that involves a dazed wife standing next to a humliated public official.” Based on the results of the study, the CDC recommends federally-funded abstinence education for every state and federal lawmaker as well as candidates for political office. The proposal has already met resistance in Congress, where a competing measure calls for giving politicians the choice to immediately terminate an “unwanted news conference” with no public relations consequences. scrappleface.com
