The Republicans Like Sex......

Tuesday, October 31, 2006
As long as only Republican congressmen are having it. With children.

Or, as Brazen Hussy said it, Republicans don't want children to learn about sex in school because they want to teach them themselves. (Ow!)

Apparently the White House has decided to extend abstinence-only education to adults. That's right, 20-29 year olds will be told to wait until marriage. What is their justification for such a silly position? "Wade Horn, assistant secretary for children and families at the Department of Health and Human Services, said the revision is aimed at 19- to 29-year-olds because more unmarried women in that age group are having children."

Eck, ah, guh.. I really can't come up with anything coherent to say. My mouth is ajar. Perhaps my pithy wife has something clever to say.

Brazen Hussy: "Marriage rates are going down and children out of wedlock are going up not because women are having irresponsible sex, but because men are too shitty to marry."

Man, I wish I was as cool as her.

Point of information: the HHS claims that "abstaining from sex is the only effective or acceptable method to prevent pregnancy or disease. " Uh huh. And where is your evidence that abstinence education is effective? No evidence? Oh, right, I forgot: God told you so.

Lunatics.

  • Not only does reseearch not show it works - it shows it has negative effects. There is some evidence that anal and oral sex rates go up (cuz it's not "real sex" and women can then remain virgins) and that std rates go up.

  • Well don't change your mind, because according to the Maryland State Supreme Court, once a woman consents to sex, she is legally obligated to let the man do whatever he wants. I'm not kidding: http://www.thewbalchannel.com/news/10198629/detail.html
