Jon Stewart grills the Democrats for allowing abstinence-only funding to come back from the grave

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart absolutely hammered the Democratic Party and their supposed "Super-Majority" last night. Even though they have the White House and huge filibuster-proof majorities in Congress, they have so far failed to make any progress in reforming our broken healthcare system by creating a public option.

But what have they made progress on? Oh right.... restoring funding for Title V abstinence-only programs.

Check out the awful truth here:

And remember that in order to get rid of this awful amendment, we all need to contact our Senators and let them know that abstinence-only funding has got to go!

Thanks so much for posting this Joe! I was so glad to watch that and have someone else understand the level of frustration and annoyance I am having right now with the "Change" and "Hope" of this Congress and Administration. I mean I did not expect things to be perfect but why do I feel like I am really getting screwed over here? Abstinence only education.... seriously? Is this not the same Abstinence-Only education that spreads lies about HIV and condoms? Is this not the same program that has NOT been shown to delay teen sex initiation and teen pregnancy?

	Yes. As long as both sides have equal time.
	No. CBS promised that it wouldn't air "advocacy ads" of any kind.
	I don't care. Who's Tim Tebow?
