The Boston Herald website reports today (April 29, 2011) that the four Catholic bishops of Massachusetts are calling on the state to stop funding a sexual education website for teens that uses graphic language to describe sex acts and downplays the physical and emotional risks of abortion.
In a statement released today by the Massachusetts Catholic Conference, the four bishops urged the state to eliminate a $100,000 grant that funds www.mariatalks.com which is maintained by the independent AIDS Action Committee.
The bishops also asked that the site be taken down.
The state Department of Public Health has defended the site as an important tool for providing accurate sexual health information to teens.
