We know from Ben Smith at the Politico that Democrats are pushing out the story about Sarah Palin's support for abstinence only education. They were doing it before the announcement and now they are really doing it.

The term "abstinence only" was created by the left as to imply that the President's program demanded teaching ONLY abstinence. Of course the truth is the President created a grant that gave state's money if they INCLUDED an abstinence component in combination with all other SEX education.

By definition abstinence is the absence of sexual relations so the modifier "only" is simply redundant in reality and subterfuge in practice by the left.

if a teenage girl and a boy really want to have a baby, no education or condoms or anything will stop them.
Remember the group of girls in Boston that made a pregnancy pact? There’s a limit to what parents and teachers can do.

The left (together with the DBM) is really good at controlling commonly used language. Of course most people think that it means nothing is taught but abstinence. Maybe Gov. Palin will be able to educate the ignorant on this topic also.
