Okay, I know I’m going to get some flack for this one, but you know…deep in your heart, that you’ll be laughing all day…

WARNING: RIGHT WING OPINION TO FOLLOW…
Okay, so I’m reading my morning paper and, low and behold, buried on page six in a report titled, “Teen births up, first rise since 1991.”
Subtitle: “…critics attack abstinence-only programs.”
