Responsible Education About Life Act
Summary
The Responsible Education About Life Act (S. 368) would provide federal grants to states to implement comprehensive family life education programs for teenagers. These programs are designed to prevent unintended pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases by providing information on both abstinence and the effective use of contraception.
For citizens, this bill would mean an increase in age-appropriate, medically accurate health education in schools and community settings. To ensure these programs are working, the bill also requires independent evaluations to measure their success in delaying sexual activity and increasing students' knowledge about reproductive health.
