5. Roland is pretty good! Genuine Honesty!

[agentS]

6. Roland can give the GOP all the advice he wants

But it will be decades before African Americans trust that party again.

Nonetheless, teaching abstinence along with condom use is the proven way to go.
Do we need any more proof that abstinence-only doesn't work effectively?

9. "abstinence with condom use"

Yeah, that's pretty obvious (to the reality-based community). I take issue with Roland Martin's comment that there are liberals who refuse to teach abstinence. Really? Abstinence-only is the problem. Abstinence is admirable and should be the primary message, but with plenty of scare tactics and useful information (STD/pregnancy prevention, economics of child-rearing, etc) rounding-out the full package.

10. Yeah - the fundies like to portray comprehensive sex ed as lacking any mention of abstinence.(nt)

[krkaufman]

14. Yep, just as they portray choice as mandatory abortions for all. n/t

[ihavenobias]

19. Exactly, which is incredibly dishonest n/t

[trthnd4jstc]

7. Great Interview

[krkaufman]

8. Roland brings up a question I was pondering

There *HAVE* to be videos out there of Right Wing fundies decrying Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy, or the movie Juno. Get to it Intertubes scavengers...!!!

[BeyondGeography]

11. Fiery and sensible

:patriot:

[knitter4democracy]

12. How do I find Roland's show?

I liked him a lot. He tells the truth.

[ihavenobias]

13. K & R

[OhioChick]

15. K&R

:kick:

[jgraz]

16. Was this on their Friday podcast?

I gotta listen to the whole thing when I have time.

[ihavenobias]

20. No, it wasn't n/t

[pipi_k]

17. Wait a minute....abstinence?

Couldn't abstinence be considered a form of "abortion" among the more rabid of the "Pro Life" crazies?

I mean, look at all those poor little unfertilized eggs just sitting around in the Ovarian Waiting Room looking for a chance to become a human being that the nutballs will protect for nine months and then say "Screw you...get a job and support yourself even if you are only three years old and living with an alcoholic mom or dad who beats you because they never wanted you in the first place".

Hell no to abstinence!!!! Every ovum has a right to life!!!!

If people stop having sex, where will the warm bodies for their damned wars come from?


those people are just batfuck insane.

[Plucketeer]

18. Really great stuff!

I'm convinced that GOP must be code-speak for Head Up Your Ass.

[ihavenobias]

21. Kick n/t

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Who from the "left" is saying abstinence shouldn't be taught at all?

Of course it shouldn't be taught EXCLUSIVELY, but I've never heard anyone say it shouldn't be taught at all.
