I beg to differ. I think she should get attention because the ironic twist of supporting abstinence only programs when statics show that they are simply money black holes and unscientific religious propaganda that say things like your wiener will fall off if you make our with your girlfriend and such. I don't support attacking her daughter and publicly humiliating her but use it to target these stupid programs that obviously don't work.
