John, the GOP is obsessed with sex — who’s having it and with whom, when (and if) people learn about it, and what happens afterward.
Study after study shows us that access to comprehensive sex education significantly lowers teen pregnancy rates, homophobic bullying, and transmission rates of STIs.
Will you chip in to defeat Republicans and elect Democrats who will push for comprehensive sex education at the federal level?
As with so many other healthcare issues — abortion, gender-affirming care — the GOP puts politics and religion over people.
Further complicating things is that there is no federal baseline to guarantee a high-quality sex education, leaving it up to the states.
“In Mississippi—which data from the CDC shows boasts the nation's highest teen pregnancy rates—state law requires abstinence-based sexual education be taught in schools, despite research showing such programs often have the opposite intended effect.” — Newsweek
The GOP wants to limit sex education, so let’s teach them a lesson. Can you stand up for comprehensive sex ed by chipping in $25 to defeat the GOP up and down the ballot?
Thank you, John!
—Dr. Mary L. Trump
