““This is the first time that abstinence-only-until-marriage curricula have been found to be medically inaccurate,”
WTF? Show me how you get STDs, AIDs, or pregnant by NOT having sex...
I know Jerry’s gf got it from a tractor once...
Phyllida [ sounds like a STD to me...] Burlingame, director of Reproductive Justice Policy for the ACLU
Reproductive Justice?? boy, there’s a loaded term.
Seriously, I still remember being a hormone fueled teenager. Teens are not little children, they are grownups in training who need proper education.
Listen to me very closely, Judge Black and Harridan Phyllida - you get ONE chance to hear and understand:
Celibacy, abstinence and marriage are the ONLY kind of sex education you have the right to teach my (hypothetical) children. Should I hear otherwise, you will be answering directly to me (and Mr. Ruger...address 45 mag Super Blackhawk Way)
Such a strawman ruled against - “abstinence is the only safe way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases”.
It’s not the ONLY safe way, but if followed it does have a 100% success rate. Just saying.
It was hypothesized that comprehensive, “scientific” sex education for school students would result in fewer teen pregnancies, less disease, and generally happier lives.
The experiment - graphic sex instruction, guilt-free fornication, distribution of contraceptives, easy abortion - was conducted.
The results were more pregnancies, abortions, disease, relationship violence, and children with never-married parents.
If you don’t accept that this hypothesis has been demonstrated to be false, then you don’t believe in science.
First of all, and for the umteenth time, get your kids out of public school. God didn’t give them to you to hand over to the state fora third of their lives until their majority.
Second, teach the biology of mammal reproduction. All of it.
And teach that abstaining is the only way to guarantee that you will not suffer one of the consequences of sex: pregnancy or disease.
Don’t leave out biology. There is nothing to be said for ignorance. Don’t leave out disease or pregnancy. There is nothing to be said for unintended consequences, either.
It really is that simple.
This is so easy to fix, I assume the good Judge lives in Fresno County, that is where this happened, a Fresno County Court. The County Supervisors just need to take a VOTE authorizing the SIEZURE of the Good Judges HOME through EMINENT DOMAIN. The Proceeds from the sale will be used for “Economic Activity” as cited in the KELO DECISION by the US Supreme Court. Use the funds to pay the Attorney Fees.
ALL LEGAL AND APPROVED BY OUR GOVERNMENT!
