Special sex ed course effective for diabetic girls
Yet another reason "abstinence only" needs to be shitcanned YESTERDAY. And another example of why the term pro-life, and the people who apply it to themsleves, is a complete misnomer.

"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A self-instructional program on reproductive health can help teen girls with type 1 diabetes better understand the risks accompanying pregnancy for diabetic women, as well as the importance of family planning, a pilot study demonstrates.

Dr. Denise Charron-Prochownik of the University of Pittsburgh and her colleagues previously found that adolescent girls with diabetes didn't know that the disease poses special risks during pregnancy and that counseling before conception is available to help reduce these risks. Charron-Prochownik and her team also found that many of the girls were having already having unsafe sex."

1. Teen girls having (unsafe) sex...
...wow. Really? Who knew?

(sigh)

Have I mentioned lately just how much I hate abstinence only education?
