| 5. Bush has spent hundreds of millions on abstinence-only programs. |
|
The money is being distibuted in grants from HHS to religious groups. The program is exempt from all oversight (which makes sense, since there are no standards to determine "best practice" abstinence-only programs, as they have all proven to be total failures).
This money has been diverted from other HHS initiatives, including programs that provide access to health care for the uninsured.
