Romney promotes abstinence education - Boston.com: "Gov. Mitt Romney promoted on Thursday an abstinence education program for Massachusetts middle schools that he says will help children make healthy and safe choices about when to have sex.

The Republican governor, who is considering a run for the White House in 2008, said abstinence is an important part of sexual education that is often left out of class discussion. He argued that teaching children to postpone having sex until they're married helps them preserve self-esteem and build character."
