3. more info- what a buch of Santorum! 6 million for abstinence in 2003!

Pennsylvania received at least $5,801,292* in federal funds for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs in Fiscal Year 2003.1

Pennsylvania Sexuality Education Law

Schools in Pennsylvania are not required to teach sexuality education. Primary, intermediate, middle, and high schools are, however, required to teach sexually transmitted disease (STD)/(HIV) education. Schools must use materials that are age-appropriate, discuss prevention, and stress abstinence as "the only completely reliable means of preventing sexual transmission."
