DENVER -- A Colorado Springs lawmaker referred Wednesday to unmarried, pregnant teenagers and the fathers as "sluts" who should be made to feel ashamed for their lack of morals.
Rep. Larry Liston’s remarks were made during a discussion with health care professionals at a Republican legislative caucus lunch about Colorado’s high teen pregnancy rate.
"In my parents' day and age, (unmarried teen parents) were sent away, they were shunned, they were called what they are," Colorado Springs Republican Rep. Larry Liston said during the meeting in Denver. "There was at least a sense of shame."
"I think it’s wrong. They’re sluts. And I don’t mean just the women. I mean the men, too," Liston added.
Sound thoughts imho.
Then you are looking in all the wrong places.......
“I hope this hasn’t posted yet. I did a search for ‘sluts’ and came up with nothing.”
ROTFL!!! That is the funniest post I’ve read here in a long, long time!
No.
Not gonna do it.
Wouldn't be prudent.
Now you´re supposed to give them an award because they didn´t butcher their child before birth.
I know nothing about Larry LIston, except what he says above. I LOVE HIM!
Finally someone with balls.
Truth hurts, I guess.
Happens to Bill Clinton a lot lately, or so I've heard.
35-40% of all babies in this country are born to unwed parents. About time someone said this out loud.
Hot damn! Tell it like it is!
It has to be from society as a whole.
It's easy to write off one guy as a "right-wing crotch Nazi", but when everybody says the same thing... not so much.
Exactly, they are supposed to abort like good liberals.
I did a lot of that when I was young. It was astounding how many there were.

“In my parents’ day and age, (unmarried teen parents) were sent away...” Yeah, sent away for their abortion so the family wouldn’t be shamed. That’s what sent away meant where I came from
Been there, done that.
Usually when a public figure let’s the truth slip out, he ends up retracting the statement and apologizing a few days later. I hope that doesn’t happen. This needs to be said.
