Abstinence Only Until Marriage (homework question) - May 6th 2012, 09:21 PM

I have to do a presentation on sexual education in schools and represent both side of the issue on how it should be taught-Abstinence only until marriage versus a comprehensive education that includes birth control sexuality education.

I've been trying to find out exactly why the "Abstinence Only Until Marriage" program by the Bush Administration was developed. But I have been unsuccessful. If anyone knows or has any information on the topic, it would be greatly appreciated!

I am expecting things like it was an attempt to lower pregnancy rates and STD rates. But I am also interested in if these rates were already high or not and if religious views (regardless of separation of church and state) had any impact.

Also, any sources you may have on this would be awesome!
