They offer the following programs:
- Comprehensive Sex Education - In the case of Comprehensive Sex Education, it has proven effective in delaying the onset age of sexual intercourse.
- Planned Parenthood
- The National Family Planning Program (Title 'X') - The Nat'l Family Planning Program supported clinics enabling one million women a year to avoid unintended pregnancy. Almost twenty million pregnancies over the last two decades have been prevented. Nine million of these pregnancies would have ended in abortion.They also perform screenings for breast & cervical cancer.
- Abstinence Only - More state & federal money is being thrown into Abstinence Only education rather than Comprehensive Sex Education, in an effort to validate that abstinence-only education actually reduces teen pregnancy or even delays sexual activity.

At the heart of most of the world's economic problems is the US, containing one fourth of all global consumption. Only one fifth of the world's people live in industrialized countries, yet they consume more than two thirds of the planet's resources. If we were to become overpopulated, since we're already using two thirds of the world's resources, they would deplete, and we would eventually die off.
