BY LifeSiteNews.com WASHINGTON, March 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Bush Administration has announced $120 million in abstinence education programs this year, up from $80 million in 2001 and $100 million in 2002.  The funding includes $117 million to strengthen programs already underway and $3.5 million in one-time grants for specific programs. Bush hoped for $135 million, budgeting $73 million for one particular abstinence grant, reduced by Congress to $55 million.  “Abstinence education is very valuable in promoting a viable alternative to sexual activity” and informing teens of the consequences of premature engagement in it, said Sen. Arlen Specter, a strong promoter of chastity programs along with fellow Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum.  For Washington Times coverage:  http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030324-2400260.htm http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bush-invests-120-million-in-chastity-education-this-year/
