I agree its all Politics

Pro-life paradoxI’m confused…Montana Right to Life and other anti-choice organizations like Eagle Forum and the Montana Family Foundation testified Wednesday before the House Human Services committee against HB 612, a bill that would create funding for comprehensive sex education.I thought Montana Right to Life and their associates were anti-abortion. Yet they support keeping kids in the dark about pregnancy prevention?Instead of opposing this bill, these anti-abortion groups should be working to promote common sense proposals that will prevent unintended pregnancy. They should be rallying for — DEMANDING — programs that reduce the need for abortion, such as increased access to family-planning services and comprehensive sex education for our teens.Or could it be that these so-called anti-abortion organizations are less about preventing abortion and more about promoting a political agenda?Prevention is common ground. A 2004 survey by National Public Radio found that 94 percent of Americans support comprehensive sex education. I call on the opponents of this bill to come together and work with reproductive rights groups on prevention bills such as this one.Alison JamesP.O. Box 7031
