help on paper!

[melisshki.livejournal.com]

I am writing a paper for my sociology class about how, in my opinion (and in many other people's opinions) abstinence-only education is flawed and how there should be more of a need for 'safer sex education' in the classrooms. As we all know, President Bush has implemented many abstinence-only sex education programs throughout the country (and, really, the world), and I'm trying to say that these initiatives just aren't as effective as teaching high school teenagers safer sex education. Whether or not statistics prove otherwise, that's what the paper is going to be about, since it's more of a hypothesis than a stone-cold, factual report. :P

While I do have some pretty solid information to go on right now, do any of you know of any links (or books, even?) that could help me out with this paper? I'm looking for statistics, facts, opinions-- you name it.
In other words, anything pertaining to the issue would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry if this wasn't the right place to post this.
I'll have a vagina-related question to ask sooner or later. :)

Thanks so much in advance!

Just curious, where else other than the United States has he been implementing abstinence programs, then?

I would elaborate on this a little more, but I have to get to class (!!). This link is very informative on this issue, I must say ---> Replacing Science with Right-Wing Ideology (http://www.saveroe.com/wow/pernicious/wow_perniciousweb_replacing.asp). Because the website is a branch site from Planned Parenthood, the information might appear bias, but as far as I know, those are some pretty accurate stats right there. He's also witheld many reproductive funds (especially HIV/AIDS funds) from the ailing continent of Africa, which this page doesn't really get into much. Hope that helps a bit.
