Nicholas Kristof writes in the New York Times, “There is something about reproductive health — maybe the sex part — that makes some Americans froth and go crazy. We see it in the opposition to condoms to curb AIDS in Africa and in the insistence on abstinence-only sex education in American classrooms (one reason American teenage pregnancy rates are more than double those in Canada). And we see it in the decision of some towns like Wasilla, Alaska, when Sarah Palin was mayor there to bill rape victims for the kits used to gather evidence of sex crimes.”
