I just wanted refresh your memory of the Palin/GOP Comprehensive Sex Education Plan!

1. What? no virgin birth defense?

Not even a dirty toilet seat defense?

[liberalmuse]

2. It's really very simple.

Abstinence works if you don't have sex.

[AlCzervik]

5. It's not "don't have sex", it's "be ashamed of your body and of sex" nt

8. bullsh&t.

Many years ago, I went to college with a guy who was saving himself for marriage. He was NOT ashamed of his body and he was NOT ashamed of sex. It meant a lot to him to come into his marriage without having slept with anyone else.

I've listened to women who feel the same way. They have every intention of making up for lost time after they get married. And they are seriously looking forward to it.

The "new" abstinence advocates, i.e. the young people who are making this decision, aren't going into this with their eyes closed. They are very, very well aware of what it feels like to be aroused, and they've decided that they want to wait "until the time is right". Which for them, is after marriage.

No credit is given to today's kids who make this decision.

That's not "pro-choice". Choosing abstinence is a legitimate "choice".

10. Too bad is DOES NOT work most of the time and they have no other education to fall back on!

[qwlauren35]

15. Ummm....

Au contraire, unless you believe in the Divine, abstinence works 100% of the time.

And it's the ONLY method that does. My sister had her tubes tied and still got pregnant.

Now, me personally, my vote's with Dr. Elders. Teach them what they CAN do (oral sex) without risking pregnancy.

But that's "comprehensive sex ed". And frankly, I think that oral sex is one of the parts that some of the fundies are truly afraid of.

17. Nope

it ain't no trick to prevent pregnancies - if all people want to do is prevent pregnancies. But I don't think there's universal agreement on that last point, nor is there likely to be.

[JBoris]

11. I was talking about repub policies, i.e. abstinence, but no sex-ed...

I support EDUCATED abstinence. I didn't mean to insult personal decisions.

12. I see.....sorry! I read it too fast!

[elocs]

7. That is absolutely true, however if you do have sex it changes the possibilities dramatically. n/t

[Coexist]

9. and if you're raped.... oh never mind - enjoy motherhood?!

[crim son]

13. I don't see where "credit" is due anybody who waits until they are married

to have intercourse. However I will credit those who do, and don't make babies by mistake. OTOH, the young woman is apparently keeping the baby and acknowledging her responsibility as she sees it. She's no poster child for Christian Conservatism, but she isn't The Evil One either. My hope is that the child is raised by people who love and can properly care for him/her.

18. Enough of this anti-catholic ranting
