Lawmaker Calls Unmarried Teen Parents 'Sluts'

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.

Now you´re supposed to give them an award because they didn´t butcher their child before birth.

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.

I agree with the thoughts, but it has to be from more than one lousy politician.

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.

Good afternoon.
“I did a search for ‘sluts’...”

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

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.
