In the News

A couple days ago I was interviewed by a local TV station for a story dealing with teen pregnancy and the debate over abstinence education vs. so-called comprehensive sex education.

I can’t seem to link directly to the story, but you can watch it by going here. Then, in the search field below the video screen, type in “teen pregnancy on the rise”, and it should be the first result.

Overall, I think, the story was presented about as fairly as we could hope for.

Interestingly, the interviewee representing the “other” side of the issue, Soo Ji Min, works for the Illinois Caucus of Adolescent Health (ICAH).

As I’ve mentioned here previously on the GFL blog, two years ago ICAH held its (adults-only) annual fundraiser at the Playboy offices. Last year, their (adults-only) fundraiser featured a stripper.

Doesn’t this tell us everything we need to know about their values?
