Advocates for Youth:
In a stunning departure from reality, new guidelines for federal "abstinence-only-until-marriage" programs, under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), have refocused target populations for grants to include unmarried adults up to 29-years-old.
According to the (ACF), being "unmarried" makes these adults targets for the long and proselytizing arm of the U.S. government.
"For once in my life, I am utterly speechless," said James Wagoner, President of Advocates for Youth.
For more information and to set up an interview with James Wagoner, please contact Marcela Howell, Vice President of Communications and Marketing, (202) 419-3420.
Advocates for Youth is a national, nonprofit organization that creates programs and supports policies that help young people make safe, responsible decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
