Last week, Governor Chet Culver made Iowa the 17th state to abstain from federal funds for abstinence-until-marriage programs. Following the advice of local teen pregnancy experts, including the group Futurenet, Culver rejected $320,000 of Title V funding offered annually. This brings to an end such memorable Iowan abstinence campaigns as "Wait for the Bling" which, in the hope of getting teens to hold off on sex until marriage, advised girls to hold out for jewelry (or why not just cash?) before they put out. And while the abstinence-only leaders in the state may believe all teenage girls are just future "Flavor of Love" contestants, they now have a few hundred thousand less to work with a year. So it appears it's now their turn to wait for the bling.
