_Really_ now.

The Senate finance committee may not be able to pass its own party's supposedly-preferred public health plan option in any form - which I point out only to highlight their incompetence and ineptitude - but restoring funding for "abstinence-only" sex education funding for programmes proven to be actively counter-productive? Can do, sport! Check out this, from the story:

[Senator Orrin] Hatch said abstinence education had been shown to work

...which we in the "science" business call a "lie..."

"...though Baucus disagreed."

Hey, reality is just a matter of opinion, eh? And that's at Huffington Post! Even Texas is giving up on this shit, seeing high-school pregnancy rates soaring after adopting (get it? I'm so funny) abstinence-only. And. Yet.

Christ, Democrats are pathetic.
