KRT NEWS STORY SLUGGED: NOSEX KRT PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY EUGENE LOUIE/SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS (KRT15-March 25) The United States government is hoping to send a message to teens - Just Say No to Premarital Sex. Congress, spurred by studies that showed 50 percent of mothers on welfare first got pregnant as unwed teenagers, recently approved spending $250 million over the next five years on abstinence-only sex education. The money will only be granted to programs teaching abstinence and not to any organization that provides family planning, contraception or abortion services.
