However, the amendment has a long way to go and many enemy lines to traverse. Advocates of contraceptive sex education, which has never been proven to be effective, are scared that the states are fighting for their kids and want abstinence funding. Groups like SIECUS and Advocates for Youth are lobbying hard to kill this amendment in the Senate.

"Groups like SIECUS, Advocates for Youth and Planned Parenthood need a wake up call from the Abstinence Community that we will not take their efforts to brainwash our children with smut," Unruh continued.
