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?

[RockinRight]

Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania)

Something doesn't look right.

Senator Arlen Specter (RINO-Pennsylvania). There. That's better.

[downtoliberalism]

... "The focus was on getting kids not to have sex at all,”...
-----

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

[TBP]

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)?

[GloriaJane]

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

[ken5050]

dontcha just love the line.."a leading abstinence opponent.."

[Tax-chick]

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?

[CharlesWayneCT]

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.

[xzins]

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.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

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.

[Marysecretary]

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.

[G.Mason]

Does anyone have information concerning the last time Arlen Specter had a medical examination?

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!

...after opponents complained that the site is biased in favor of teaching abstinence over contraception.

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.

[Pride in the USA]

Hmmm . . . bias toward abstinence, eh? Since abstinence is the only "contraceptive" that works 100% of the time, I think the Senator mistakes facts for bias.

[One Proud Dad]

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".

[ZULU]

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.

[Bahbah]

opponents complained that the site is biased in favor of teaching abstinence over contraception.

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.

[Polyxene]

"...the site is biased in favor of teaching abstinence over contraception."

What in the world is wrong with that???

[goodnesswins]

We need SEPARATION OF SEX AND STATE

[montag813]

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.
