Pros and Cons Regarding His Tenure
Horn has been a supporter and participant in the Coalition for Marriage, Family, and Couples Education, an educational organization promoting healthy family life. This voluntary coalition is composed of individuals and organizations who wish to study, learn and pursue educational approaches which will promote both societal and individual benefit in the basic family unit. Participants include clergy, educators, social workers, psychologist, psychiatrists, family and societal counselors, and law enforcement who unite in the effort to both present and learn specific methods which will improve couple relationships and family health.
Horn has been criticized by Planned Parenthood and other sexual health education organizations for his advocacy of abstinence programs.,. During his term with HHS, he oversaw increases in funding for both abstinence education and relationship education. Under Horn's administration, these programs are believed to have contained some misrepresentations regarding contraceptives, HIV and pregnancy.

Famous quotes containing the words pros and cons, pros and, pros and/or tenure:
“Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... The analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
