Teenagers and birth control: Not the Bush way

According to the Journal Pediatrics

Teenagers need access to birth control and emergency contraception, not the abstinence-only approach to sex education favored by religious groups and President Bush, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics' updated policy on teen pregnancy.
"Even though there is great enthusiasm in some circles for abstinence-only interventions, the evidence does not support abstinence-only interventions as the best way to keep young people from unintended pregnancy," said Jonathan D. Klein, chairman of the academy committee that wrote the new recommendations.
