House Votes To Extend Title V Abstinence Education Program Until September
The House on Wednesday voted 291-126 to extend until Sept. 30 the federal Title V abstinence education program along with the Transitional Medical Assistance program, which provides Medicaid coverage to families leaving welfare, the Washington Times reports. The extension, approved by the Senate late last month, now goes to President Bush for consideration (Wetzstein, Washington Times, 7/15).

Title V, administered by HHS' Administration for Children and Families, distributes funds based on a formula favoring states with more low-income children. Title V traditionally has been reauthorized with the TMA program. Some members of Congress are seeking to unlink Title V from TMA so that they could be reauthorized separately, but other members have rejected the idea.
To receive Title V funds, states must adhere to certain requirements, including barring teachers from discussing contraception and requiring them to say that sex within marriage is "the expected standard of sexual activity." Many state governors have said the grants place too many restrictions on the curricula. California, Maine, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have rejected Title V funds.

Bush has asked Congress to appropriate $191 million for the program for fiscal year 2008, an increase of $28 million from FY 2007 funding levels. Congressional Democratic leaders in May said they will not reauthorize Title V. Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) -- chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the program -- said it has not proven to be effective (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 7/3).

Valerie Huber, executive director of the National Abstinence Education Association, on Friday said, "While we really applaud the bipartisan support for the extension of three months, ... it is our hope that it will be continued on to the next fiscal year." Another concern is that the extension expires in September, which is the time the 2007-2008 school year will begin, Huber added (Hunter, AP/Northwestern Alabama Times Daily, 7/13).

According to the Times, comprehensive sex-education advocates were dismayed by the extension, as well as by a recent vote in a House committee to increase funding in the Community-Based Abstinence Education program by $27.8 million to $141 million. "In one inglorious motion, Democratic leaders sold out the health and well-being of young people, delivered a public slap in the face to evidence-based public health and made a mockery of their 'prevention first' message," James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, said (Washington Times, 7/15).

Hispanic Version of Faith-Based, Sex-Education Curriculum Initially Designed for Black Youths Presented at Conference
In related news, the Hispanic version of a faith-based, sex-education curriculum initially designed for black youth was presented last week at the annual National Black Religious Summit on Sexuality in Washington, D.C., the Washington Post reports. According to the Post, 500 black and Hispanic churchgoers attended the three-day conference, sponsored by the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
The curriculum -- called "Manteniendolo Real!" -- is based off a program called "Keeping it Real," which was written 10 years ago and designed for black youth. The program uses biblical verses to spark discussion about issues of health and sexuality, including teen pregnancy, abortion and the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Penny Willis, director of multicultural programs for the religious reproductive choice coalition, said many ministers fear the program will encourage minors to have sex. She added, "it's not a program that says you should tell your child to use birth control. It's a program to give your child the tools they need" to make informed decisions (Salmon, Washington Post, 716).
