Sex We’ve Heard This Song Before

Someone wake me when the Bush administration is over:
Experts say sex abstinence program doesn’t workPrograms teaching U.S. schoolchildren to abstain from sex have not cut teen pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases or delayed the age at which sex begins, health groups told Congress on Wednesday.
The Bush administration, however, voiced continuing support for such programs during a hearing before a House of Representatives panel even as many Democrats called for cutting off federal money for so-called abstinence-only instruction.
“This is starting to get monotonous,” says Slog tipper Karla. I couldn’t agree more. And you know what else is getting monotonous? Watching the Democrats that control congress throw money at failed abstinence-only education programs because they’re afraid of being characterized as, you know, soft on teen sex.
The Republicans, of course, are hard on teen sex. Rock fucking hard.
Actually, they're more into multiple child brides for old white guys.
Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.
Hey, I'm all in favor of teen sex.
Dan, if we wake you up when the Bush administration is over, should we knock you unconscious when the McCain administration begins?
Of course I will have already drunk myself into a coma by inauguration day, so you'll have to find someone else to do it.
more reason to let the lieberman/clinton wing of the party go
170 days and a wakeup.
What IS Obama's stance on abstinence only?
Dammit, now I gotta go do research. *grumbles* I hate reading stuff.
For Kat @6 and other curious souls,
Google indicates that the Freepers and WorldCatholicDaily are up in arms about Obama talking about the need for comprehensive sex education. He said that encouraging abstinence for kids is nice and should continue, but there will be many kids who have sex anyway and we need to educate them as well.
Here's a transcript of his comments, and his answers to a questionnaire about sexual and reproductive health issues.
w00. Thank you, V.
