One thing to note that I read in the NPR article, was that a new under-secretary in HHS is a proponent of abstinence only education. So this may be a result of that particular person's ideology. It's hard to say. Either way, this can result in higher unwanted pregnancies, higher numbers of abortions, higher numbers of STIs, etc. A bad move, for sure.
