Sarah Palin against sex education programs in schools

But it's not just abortion policy that has Democrats up in arms over Palin. In that same 2006 questionnaire, the soon-to-be governor said she would fund abstinence-only education programs in schools. "The explicit sex-ed programs," she added, "will not find my support." The stance, which reflected the priorities of the GOP, nevertheless led to an incredulous editorial in the Juneau Empire.

4. That is the only reason I find her daughter's pregnancy remotely relevant.

Well, that and the fact that she's a member of Feminists for Life, which opposes birth control pills and IUD's even for married couples. Opposition sex-ed + opposition to reliable birth control = increased teen pregnancies.
