Folks, this is just the tip pf the iceberg as far as medical expenses which arise from the promiscuity of a large segment of the population!!!
I know this because I worked in a medical laboratory in a somewhat small (8 providers) clinic. Daily we had young people coming in for treatment for sexually tramsmitted diseases. And there are now many of them: syphillis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes, HPV, etc. The cost for lab tests alone are enormous. Then add in the costs of a pregnancy with an unmarried couple or the cost of an abortion - you get the picture.
Our culture had turned upside down. There is no common sense here. People who have traditrional values are ridiculed by the idiots among us. It is reprehensible. I have had enough of this, and I have decided to fight back. Letters to the editor, and in-the-face responses when I hear stupid statements about Newt or Rick being extyremists. Jesus was right. We are the salt of the earth. We need to proclaim our beliefs without reservation.
Exactly. All of it.
We’ve forgotten the great AIDS debate, too. “Promote the general welfare,” was thrown under the bus when we stopped testing for AIDS/HIV in certain high-risk areas. Along with AIDS/HIV testing went pre-marriage blood-tests.
If this isn’t the bright red line, we’re not just stupid, we’re dead.
One more thing to rant about our stupid culture and the liberals.
I have a friend who is a devout Mormon. Her daughter went into a clinic to get a pre-marital physical exam. She was put throught a gautlet of intrusive questions about her relationship with her fiance. Now I can understand some of these questions being necessary. However, when the young woman told the physician that she and her fiance did not believe in pre-marital sex and that she was therefore a virgin - she was met witrh scepticism and an attitude of disbelief. This young lady was made to feel like a freak of nature because she had sincere religious beliefs against promiscuity.
May God have mercy on us all.
Stick it to them, Gumdrop. We never have any letters to the editor in our newspaper any more. Writing letters to the editor has become a lost art along with morals and commonsense.
“Letters to the editor, and in-the-face responses when I hear stupid statements about Newt or Rick being extremists”
I hate that these statements appear even on FR. We need to push both of them to be more conservative, not less.
Thank you. I needed to read that. I have to start doing the same thing - standing up for what is right instead of being silent.
Agreed...
“Jesus was right. We are the salt of the earth. We need to proclaim our beliefs without reservation.”
Agreed...but we also need to live out our beliefs.
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
Thinking of the above verse, why do over 90% of Christian children go to public school? It is within the walls of the public schools that a lot of the “educating” about the new culture is happening.
Ephesians 5:15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
For a good look at the public school system I would advice reading “Clergy in the Classroom” by David A. Noebel.
