American Voices • Politics • george w. bush • ISSUE 44•08 • Feb 19, 2008

President Bush wants to keep a contested provision in his global AIDS package in which one-third of all prevention spending goes to abstinence education. What do you think?

“How much was allocated to dry-humping and finger-banging education?”
Roger Davidson –
Health Inspector
“This is fine as long as the other two-thirds is going towards funding cutting-edge abstinence research.”
Amanda Troughton –
Apartment Manager
“Exactly how much money does it cost to tell people not to have sex with each other?"”
