Could President Bush have been setting up Sen. John Kerry for a debate on morality and kids when he delivered his State of the Union and said this:

To encourage right choices, we must be willing to confront the dangers young people face -- even when they're difficult to talk about. Each year, about 3 million teenagers contract sexually-transmitted diseases that can harm them, or kill them, or prevent them from ever becoming parents. In my budget, I propose a grassroots campaign to help inform families about these medical risks. We will double federal funding for abstinence programs, so schools can teach this fact of life: Abstinence for young people is the only certain way to avoid sexually-transmitted diseases. (Applause.)

A look at Kerry's voting record over at Project Vote Smart comes up with this. In 1996, he voted to turn thumbs down on so much as $75 million for abstinence education for kids.

But Kerry could counter with this: While he doesn't care if kids have sex, he absolutely, positively doesn't want them kicking back with a cigarette when they're done, according to this vote.
