Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is expected to introduce an amendment to the Senate health care reform bill to reinstate Title V Abstinence Education funding for 2010.
Valerie Huber, executive director of the National Abstinence Education Association, said: "Recent research analysis demonstrates that school-based abstinence education is more successful in positive behavior change than so-called 'comprehensive' sex education."
The amendment is expected to be introduced this week in the Senate Finance Committee and could receive a vote as early as Wednesday.
