Pro-life politicians are looking for a way to get around President’s Obama’s ban of federal funding for abstinence-only education, including adding amendments to the healthcare bill that progressives are eager to get passed. If we let it go unnoticed children in public schools will continue to be ignorant about safe sex practices and we will raise another generation with the detriments of a failed education. Tell Congress that they don’t need to waste $250 million dollars on Title V abstinence-only funding, a program that doesn’t work. Let them know you want the reconciliation bill to be responsible health care reform!

Remember the public school lunches you were forced to eat growing up? We’ve featured stories on the lack of nutrition served up to school children all over the country.

The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine is urging Congress to demand more vegetables, fruits, vegetarian options, and non-dairy foods be included in school cafeterias. Sign on to back that request, don’t make kids go through the same experiences you did.
