CNN: Palin backed abstinence education

Palin backed abstinence education
Posted: 02:00 PM ET

(CNN) – Sarah Palin, who announced on Monday that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, indicated during her run for Alaska governor that she was a firm supporter of abstinence-only education in schools.

In a 2006 Eagle Forum questionnaire, Palin indicated that she supported funding abstinence-until-marriage education programs instead of teaching sex-education programs.

"Explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," Palin wrote in the conservative group’s questionnaire.

4. NOW we're talking.
What, she didn't expect any scrutiny? I can't wait to see this wretched Theocrat run back to Alaska with her tail between her legs.

9. LOL
Those have to be more understandable than the erection cartoon I saw in High School. So, if they study the circulatory system, they should not see a picture of a heart or Aorta? So, no pics of Who Hahs or Woo Whoos... Got it. :-)

10. My sex ed class was VERY progressive for the day... what republicans would call "explicit"
And it was about as sexy as a raging case of genital warts on top of a raging case of AIDS.

In short, if you don't want your dick to look like a cauliflower, either keep it in your pants or use a rubber PROPERLY. And here's how to use one PROPERLY.
