You've got to feel very sorry for Bristol Palin. The poor teenager isn't running for political office and yet she's the subject of two front page stories in the NY Times today. All of a sudden, every talking head on the cable news is wondering how her pregnancy will influence the election. Is this…
The US government spends millions domestically and billions internationally on abstinence-only education with the intent of lowering the transmission of STIs such as HIV and limiting unwanted pregnancies. Yet abstinence-only education is demonstrably ineffective. The alternative called abstinence…
For those of us who have been wondering whether Bush is really on the so-con bandwagon or was just pretending to be in order to court their votes in the last election, here is one bit of evidence for the first conclusion:

I like how he compared abstinence-only sex education with "just hold it" potty training.
Won't "holding it" for too long lead to fatal ruptures?
Turkla,
I think you mean RAPTURES
Isn't abstinence-only sex education an enjoinder to "just hold it" rather than putting it anywhere near anyone else? I thought the fundies were all about how sinful masturbation is?

He makes me... a little horny...
What's amazing is how many nitwits chant "abstinence is the only 100% method of avoiding pregnancy and disease", as if rape and tragedies like Ryan White don't exist.
Wouldn't it be nice if the people who so avidly promoted abstinence actually practiced it? The whole misguided mindset would all but vanish in the course of a generation.

Abstinence. What a silly abstraction. I wonder if it actually exists?
