<h1>
Presidential Priorities for Sexual and Reproductive Health
</h1>
<p>
As programs such as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief have vividly demonstrated, U.S. presidents can have great influence on global efforts to improve sexual and reproductive health. What should be the top priority on the sexual and reproductive health agenda of the next U.S. presidential administration?

Issues on teenage pregnancy should be addressed to avoid abortion, and instability on the growing child who might not have a conducive home and upbringing. This issue breeds violence among youth who imitate the parents' negative lifestyles.

I received my Master's of Public Health in Feb.08, and have a passion for educating teens at HIV/AIDS. I have been educating teens at my church about HIV/AIDS for about a year now. My question is where is the funding located for Faith-based organization to educate teens. It is very difficult to educate teens they especially think that they can't get HIV. There is a need for more funding available in the Faith-based area.

Because of my age, I am out of the loop. However, when I was a teenager and my hormones were raging I kept things in check because I didn't want to hurt my parents, my self esteem, my God, my future, etc. Why is it so different today -- are the kids so gullible or don't they care about such things anymore? Self control is possible -- as my generation can attest to (most of my generation anyway). Throwing money at this is not the answer, we should be teaching self respect -- it's not so difficult.

Complete elimination of faith-based funding for sex education programs based solely upon abstinence.
This total waste of public money has been used as an excuse for the purchase of selective voting power for political purpose.
Simple reasoning concludes that individuals intimately involved in such communities need nothing more than exposure to the simple fact that abstinence alone most certainly works and is accepted, within those particular circles, as the preferable norm.
These individuals need nothing more, whereas those not being reached by such influences need far more information to protect themselves from disease and unwanted pregnancy.
Public investment should be restricted to ONLY those areas offering a full range of information.

I think the most important agenda should be population control and that this agenda should focus on increasing both the availability and education regarding birth control (both male and female!). Also, legal adoptions should be made more obtainable for all.
It is also my opinion that abstinence does not work and while it should be discussed as an option for teenagers, we need to accept that kids are having sex and they will continue to. They need to be able to talk about this with counselors/peers and make responsible choices for their behavior.
