What utter bilge.

Sure, and we don't want voter fraud, either, but the rules that help solve these so-called social problems are always designed so they affect the groups the Republicans don't like more than others. These laws were specifically engineered to go after abortion clinics, (and in voter suppression, voters likely to vote democratic). And it happens only in states with Republican-controlled legislatures, passed in the dead of night without public debate or press exposure.

And don't get me started on Republican forced vaginal ultrasound probes. These rednecks are fucking savages.

As for your comments about sex education...really, Jody. Teenagers don't need to be taught to be "titillated into a frenzy of wonderlust and experimentation". Nature and evolution have hard-wired them that way. I know I was! Teens have to be brainwashed and intimidated into thinking God will punish them for sex in order to dissuade them from doing what comes perfectly natural. Its a cultural mechanism to regulate natural behavior and if you are unfamiliar with other cultures you can contrast with your own, as are most Anglos, you won't see it.

When I was a kid, We were taught that getting a girl in trouble would bring dishonor to my family, cause enormous financial problems, ruin our lives with an unhappy marriage, and make the child feel unwanted and abandoned.

The Cracker kids were taught sex was DIRTY and god would punish you for it. But out-of-wedlock births (and rape) were almost unknown in the Cuban community, while the Anglos (if my high school was typical) were constantly holding shotgun weddings. And of course, the abundant adult sex hangups and neuroses of the "white" community are very well recognized, even by the whites themselves. These folks still suffer the legacy of their witch-burning Puritan ancestors.

Sex education won't stop sex any more than health education will prevent disease. But at least, you can teach people how to properly brush their teeth and wash their hands.
