OK, This is just nuts...
I honestly thought I was reading some sort of joke or parody column, but this story from Reuters is factual. Get this--to combat the AIDS epidemic in Africa, Laura Bush is promoting a program called "Abstinence for Africa."
According to the story, "Bush's trip to Ghana and Nigeria will focus on education and the HIV/AIDS pandemic which the United Nations estimates infects more than 30 million people in Africa. The disease has killed at least 20 million worldwide."
With the promotion of abstinence to fight AIDS, get ready for those numbers to climb even higher.
