This is just.... well, typical of the current administration's science stance:

Representative Mark Souder (R-IN) objected to the critical stance, and in an email to the Department of Health and Human Services about the “obvious anti-abstinence objective” of the conference, asked for a change in focus to create a “balanced” discussion, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The name of the symposium was changed from "Are Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Programs a Threat to Public Health?" to "Public Health Strategies of Abstinence Programs for Youth," and changes were made to the speaking lineup, despite the rigorous peer review process of the original panel, according to Kaiser Daily Women’s Health Policy Report .
