Lara Riscol writes on AlterNet: Bush Versus Smart Sex — ‘Like a pimply teenager smoking his first pack of Marlboros despite its

warning label, President Bush has soundly rejected the U.S. Surgeon

General’s latest advice.

Just one week after Dr. David Satcher issued the Call to Action to

Promote Sexual Health and Responsible Sexual Behavior, which aims

“to begin a mature, thoughtful and respectful discussion nationwide

about sexuality,” Bush’s Health and Human Services Secretary

announced $17.1 million in new abstinence-only funding.

By ignoring America’s top doc, Bush must have impressed his

conservative buddies. What a rebel! Ignorance of health options is so

cool. Comprehensive sex education is, like, so five minutes ago.’
