Unfortunately, this is no April Fools’ joke: The Texas House of Representatives passed an amendment that will move $3 million from HIV prevention programs into abstinence education, the Texas Tribune reports.

State Representative Stuart Spitzer, R–Kaufman, led the push for the amendment, which passed 97 to 47.

During the provocative debate on the topic of sex education and the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, Spitzer told the chamber that he was a virgin when he married at age 29 and has “only had sex with one woman in my life—and that’s my wife.”

Currently, school districts in Texas can set up their own sex education programs, according to the newspaper, as along as they teach more about abstinence than prevention methods such as birth control and condoms.

Lawmaker Chris Turner, D–Grand Prairie, questioned whether the focus on abstinence was working. He noted that Texas has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy—and the highest rate of repeat teen pregnancy—in the entire country.
