In the past‚ Congress has funded abstinence-only programs over abstinence-plus education. The $102 million (0) currently being spent on abstinence-only programs seems to be intended to serve social and political goals‚ instead of producing positive health results for youth. The government appears to be concerned with how others portray our citizens‚ as immoral beings‚ when sex is an inevitable occurrence. Abstinence-plus education emphasizes the benefits of abstinence while also teaching about contraception

In my essay I shall discuss Aquinas’ understanding that blame is excusable due to ignorance if and only if they are involuntarily ignorant.

nothing more and nothing less” —Andre Malraux.
