Abstinence only education does nothing more than lead to more unwanted pregnancies and more transmission of STDs. You can't stop kids from having sex but you can show them a way to do it safely. I have nothing wrong with teaching abstinence alongside safe sex measures but not abstinence-only.

This bill seems like it would place some limits on teaching abstinence at all, whether it be alone or with safe sex info.

No it doesn't not at all it makes sure that religious dogma and fundamentalist beliefs are kept out of federally funded abstinence education programs.
