I'm probably just being cranky, but where in the Constitution does it say the Federal government should tax us so it can promote ANYTHING about contraception?

What a novel idea.
Specter must want to explain STD's to kids also.

Promoting abstinence means less premarital sex.
Less premarital sex means fewer STDs and fewer out-of-wedlock pregnancies, especially among our teens.
Fewer STDs means fewer people relying on the government to cure them.
Fewer out-of-wedlock pregnancies means fewer abortions.
Is it any wonder The Specter is against promoting abstinence?
Aren't you sorry you didn't vote for Jim Clymer in Novemeber (after Toomey lost the primary)?

What? Are these demoRats worried that teaching abstinence over contraception will cut into the abortion trade dollars?

Stupid me. I saw Waxman's name and it didn't even sink in that Specter was also involved. Make that demoRat and RINO.

Why isn't he calling for an investigation of government programs that promote (implicitly or otherwise) premarital and extramarital sex, not to mention gay sex?

Okay, so what's Sen. Specter's personal interest in getting teenagers to have sex? Didn't we just have a brouhaha from Waxman over this issue? Just how many pedophiles do we have in the Senate?

What a novel idea. Specter must want to explain STD's to kids also.Specter must have got a call from Planned Parenthood complaining that their revenue is down for the year.

Right after it says that they can use my tax dollars for an abstinence web site. The whole thing's ridiculous. Parent's should teach their kids about sex. Not the government.

I did a quick glance around the site, and in addition to agreeing that an abstinence site should promote abstinence, I would say that I don't see what the complaint is about the web site.
For example, it has a section on Condoms, which looks entirely factual, and ends with this paragraph:
While condoms aren't perfect, they are the only method of contraception that can help reduce the risk of STDs. Other methods of contraception like birth control pills, shots and patches do not reduce the risk of STDs. Tell your son or daughter that the best way to avoid getting an STD is for them not to have vaginal, oral, or anal sex until they are in a mutually faithful, monogamous relationship, preferably marriage.

This is satire, right...scrappleface or something?
Does it actually say, the (abstinence) site is biased in favor of teaching abstinence?
ROTFLOL!!
This is a joke...someone confirm this is a joke.

Okay, so what's Sen. Specter's personal interest in getting teenagers to have sex?He wants them to conceive more babies that can be aborted to feed the embryonic stem cell research machine. He thinks then he won't have cancer anymore.

This is the same organization that spends tens of billions of dollars to protect Iraq's borders while leaving ours practically wide open.
