Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) has asked that the Department of Health & Human Services review its www.4parents.gov abstinence web site after opponents complained that the site is biased in favor of teaching abstinence over contraception. Rep. Henry Waxman, a California Democrat and leading abstinence opponent, has been rounding up criticism of the web site. The not-for-profit National Physicians Center for Family Resources hired by HHS to create the site's content is also under fire for its faith-based views on abstinence and abortion. John Whiffen, chair of the NPC board, defended the web site. "The focus was on getting kids not to have sex at all, he said. NPCs future involvement with the site is uncertain because HHS is now accepting applications from different groups to maintain the site, according to Whiffen. NPC plans to apply, he said
Why oh why did Bush support this clown when he could have supported the far superior Toomey? Specter is like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.
It's part of Scottish law.
Specter needs a job. Why do they keep re-electing this spook? Argghhhh. As if there aren't other things of importance that need to be dealt with.
Maybe we should ask his good friend and client Ira Einhorn...
From every indications this guy is has ceased to exist. 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This Senator is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the podium 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
Thanks Monty Python, I needed that!
Scottish law? Very interesting. To quote Benny Hill, "Learning all the time."
From Merriam-Webster, contraception: deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation
Seems to define abstinence as well. Their complaints are unfounded and should not cost the taxpayers for unnecessary investigations.
Waxman's ugly mug have lead him to a life of enforced bstinence or maybe he is tired of paying for it so he is for "free love".
Arlen Spector is certifiable.
Waxman is acting true to form - challenging any actions by the governmnet that even REMOTELY smack of Judaeo-Christian morality.
The way to destroy a society is to destroy its value system - and Bolsheviks like Waxman understand this.
All in all, looks like the taxpayers are the ones screwed here so to speak.
Sadly, I was thinking the same thing as his motivation.
What in the name of heaven is wrong with that. Do they think it's a good idea for teens to have sex? This is not "bias". This is common sense.
Specter is a clymer.
"...the site is biased in favor of teaching abstinence over contraception."
What in the world is wrong with that???
Aha! Thanks for clearing that up. (Note to self: Waxman is the pedophile; Specter is the cannibal.)
Oh the horrors!!!!! What kind of kook would come up with that advice?
Rick Santorum is such a horse's ass for supporting this scumbag RAT. His pathetic poll numbers vs. Casey reflect the base's disgust with him. What a grand Senator Pat Toomey would have made.
