Here's a link to one of the groups promoting comprehensive sex ed.

I stumbled accross a facebook petition to maintain funding only to abstinence only education. Further, it explains that they demand no funding to any program that includes any information about family planning or contraceptives, replacing these with "marriage education". This ensures the absolute ignorance of not only teens, but married adults, as they are not taught anything about their body's functions and marriage does not immediately endow this knowledge. I am looking for a counter- group, I am really disapointed because many of my aquaintences have joined this petition.
