Abstinence Only - Does Not Work! Duh!

2008-10-30T03:29:52Z

JUST TELLING OUR KIDS TO "DON'T DO IT" DOES NOT WORK! Guess what folks, teaching abstinence-only to young adolescent teens fails in all the studies except the ones conducted by the abstinence-only advocates. Isn't that a shocker? Well, to anyone with a few brain cells, that was a given. From the very beginning, when Bush and his followers rejoiced and couldn't wait to hit us over the head with their abstinence-ONLY asinine program. Of course, we should teach our teenage children good judgement, if that is at all possible when it comes to the powerful instinctual urges belonging to all life, the drive to BEGET. Try telling a teeny bobber about love and responsibility. They'll look at you, the same way you look at a dog chasing its tail, bewilderment of such a stupidity lag. But, for most parents, the teen "eye roll" just slides off their back, down to the floor where it can be easily stepped on. But all sarcasm aside, teaching this program alone is not just block-headed, its outrageously dangerous. By not equipping our young with knowledge on self preservation, we neglect the most basic fact of life, the instinctive teachings of fundamental survival techniques. Go and watch some wild life with their young and you will see such training. Birds do it, Bees do it, even Monkeys in the trees do it. Let's do it, lets teach our young important "no brainer" essentials, so they can make informed decisions to help preserve our species. FOR PITY'S SAKE! LET'S DO IT! thinkingblue

Abstinence Only Ed. - Higher Pregnancy Rate & 25% STD RATE!

2008-10-20T03:30:08Z

This is just fantastic. Don't get me wrong, it is horribly sad, but so freaking typical of everything about the Bush Administration one can't help but chuckle. It looks like the hundreds of millions of dollars thrown at abstinence only education yearly ain't working too well. In addition to increased pregnancy (who woulda thunk it), 25% of all teenage girls (that's 1 in 4 for the mathematically challenged) now have had an STD!!!!!

Bush’s Abstinence-Only “Education”: So Ineffective It’s Counterproductive!

2008-10-21T21:29:39Z

If there was ever a serious doubt among experts (there isn’t) whether abstinence-only “education” actually reduces sexual activity, teen pregnancy, or the spread of STDs, a new study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would help end it:

In a troubling reversal, the nation's teen birth rate rose for the first time in 15 years, surprising government health officials and reviving the bitter debate about abstinence-only sex education.

The birth rate had been dropping since its peak in 1991, although the decline had slowed in recent years. On Wednesday, government statisticians said it rose 3 percent from 2005 to 2006. –snip-

Some experts said they have been expecting a jump. They blamed it on increased federal funding for abstinence-only health education that doesn't teach teens how to use condoms and other contraception.

Is anyone surprised by this? It’s a national disgrace that democrats have not eliminated this program and tossed it in the big bin of republican anti-science with intelligent design and blastocyst rights. Allowing this program to continue literally costs lives, both in the US and abroad. Even hard-right extremists like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity support teaching kids about birth control.

San Francisco Cell Phone Anti-STD Campaign

Interesting. Sex education via cell phone. Innovative idea and important message.

Although, they could always just try advising abstinence-only instead, because each new study keeps proving what a smashing success that whole effort has been!
