Keep in mind that a funding "increase" is sometimes just a flat-line when you account for inflation. That's one of the ways legislatures trick the public. So Palin might have kept there from being an increase or even "slashed" a budget if the increase was not enough to keep up with inflation.

I've researched this one. This IS a rumor.

The funding was increased from the previous year but it simply wasn't as much as they wanted.

Lisa, they're not rumors. Follow the link at the bottom of my post and read for yourself (from a non-partisan organization). Use your head, don't just follow what someone tells you.

Wow, great article. I'm always on the lookout for great charities that really deserve my hard earned money. Jane and G-CAPP can look forward to some financial support from me :) Thanks for the info!

Those are great results, especially given that many teen moms do have pregnancies again, at young ages - though I'm curious about the demographics in the two groups.

Please be careful spending rumors. Most of the rumors about Palin "slashing budgets" for one thing or another end are not true. She decreased the increase the legislature approved and their budgets increased but not as much as they wanted.

The same is true here.

If you're a white christian teen and get pregnant, after your abstinence only sex education it's part of "God's Plan." If you're a minority who gets pregnant after the same useless abstinence only sex education you're a welfare parasite lacking any moral will.
