Are your tax dollars being used to fund abstinence education actually funding genocide in Uganda?

Project SOS, a Jacksonvile-based abstinence education program, has received more than $6.5 million in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services since 2002 — including $454,000 in September 2010. This despite the fact that the group has been cited for teaching false information about HIV and is a supporter of Ugandan pastor Martin Ssempa, one of the most outspoken advocates of legislation in that country that prescribes the death penalty for homosexuals.

Project SOS’ federal funding came through the Administration of Children and Families, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, via grants for Community Based Abstinence Education and a Healthy Marriage Demonstration grant. The abstinence education funding is made available through Title V (.pdf) of the Social Security Act. A provision of Title V requires that states provide a $3 match for every $4 in federal money.

Group has ties to Ugandan pastor Martin Ssempa, a vocal advocate for that country’s 2009 “Anti Homosexuality Bill” (.pdf), nicknamed the “Kill the Gays” law.

Asked about the group’s ties to Ssempa and the citation of Project SOS teaching misinformation about HIV/AIDS, Hill emailed us to say that the PGA “will have no comment.”

No funding for any sort of birth control programs abroad until matters have improved here.

We don't have the money to spare and as this illustrates the money often goes towards things other than it's intended target.
