This year, Bush's budget includes $270M earmarked specifically for abstinence education. The budget includes matching funds for states, which has had the net effect of causing the states to divert funds from comprehensive sex education to abstinence-only education. This matching fund component was, of course, a method of ensuring states adopted the curriculum.
When Bush was Gov of TX, he heavily promoted abstinence education. The results of that effort have been analyzed extensively.
