Can't speak for my local Planned Parenthood, but their website certainly has a lot to say about abstinence.MichaelFJF said:
The first article in their teen sections is on abstenence.

And the first type of contraception they list is abstinence.

As far as publi school curriculums, if they need information on abstinence, I'm sure planned parenthood would help them out. They can order the following resources from the planned parenthood website.

Teensex? It's OK to say "No Way!"
[font=arial, helvetica, verdana]It's one thing to tell kids to "just say no" to sex - Planned Parenthood educators know that for abstinence to be a real option for teens, they need specific motivation and communication skills. They need to know how to face peer pressure and the powerful emotions that come with their first romantic relationships. This popular publication gives kids that information in an appealing style that they find reassuring. Its comic book format plays out many of the scenarios young people will confront. It refutes the myth that "everyone is doing it" or that you have to be sexually active to be cool. Its 4th-grade reading level makes it accessible to teens at all levels and those whose first language may not be English.

The Umbrella
Gee, the Pageant people didn't return the calls of the religious groups that wanted her to speak on abstinence-so of course that translates into PREVENTING her from speaking about abstinence. No one prevented her from speaking, they just didn't provide a forum for her and that's not their job. They gave her a contract which specified that for the next year she has to appear at all of these events-which they choose-not her. In return for parading around the stage in her bathing suit while men all over the world ogle her body (of course she's abstains from sex but it's morally okay to give the guys a peek at what they aren't getting, right?) she gets a scholarship and some other goodies.
I think all this homeschooling has led to an inability to do any critical thinking. If its immoral to have sex outside of marriage, isn't it a little compromising of your beliefs to parade your sexuality for monetary gain?

No most people don't mind those opinions. However things that claim to be news sources are supposed to be neutral on all issues. That is why it is resented.Bruce S said:
Atleast FOX and CNN, etc., try to present things from an unbiased standpoint. Afterall the facts are never biased. Bias comes from using certain facts and not others.

Not only is it biased, but it twists the facts to fit its goals. That's lying. It's a bad thing to see in a supposed news source.Bruce S said:
