Surgeon General David Satcher’s new call to action on sexual health is raising hackles among critics. They say his sex-ed guidelines put too much emphasis on contraception and don't stress abstinence enough. We’ll talk about about what this means for sex-ed in schools. Laura’s guests are Vicky Jaffe, Communications Manager for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England http://www.ppnne.org, and Patrick Fagan, Wm. H.G. Fitzgerald Research Fellow in Family & Cultural Issues for
