The new GOP welfare reform bill seems to be sound, and I hope that it works in practice. However, I disagree with this:

The bill includes up to $300 million per year for experiments promoting marriage. It also extends a $50 million program promoting abstinence from sex until marriage, which bans any discussion of contraception.

It isn't the marriage part that bothers me so much, its the program that bans discussion of contraception. I think that the use of contraception should be taught along with abstinence. You know how people can be, horny devils that we are.
