Teen Abstinence Oxymoron For Moronic Conservatives

If it wastes money and has negative results, it has the GOP stamp of approval. Conservatives pass their hypocrisy on to their kids:

Teenagers who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who do not promise abstinence and are significantly less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control when they do, according to a study released today.

The new analysis of data from a large federal survey found that more than half of youths became sexually active before marriage regardless of whether they had taken a "virginity pledge," but that the percentage who took precautions against pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases was 10 points lower for pledgers than for non-pledgers.

"Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behavior," said Janet E. Rosenbaum of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, whose report appears in the January issue of the journal Pediatrics. "But it does seem to make a difference in condom use and other forms of birth control that is quite striking."

So take the pledge, promise your parents to wait, end up having sex, but use fewer condoms and partake in more dangerous sex. Sarah Palin must be so proud.

Bush and his GOP policy makers have spent the past 8 years with this experiment of teen abstinence and their social experiment has failed. The one thing you can count on is that when you have hormones raging through your body, you're going to want to have sex. It's nature, it's science, it's survival.

You think the Jonas Brothers and their phony promise rings, or go back to Britney Spears and n*sync, are having any effect? What about Jamie Lynn Spears learning from big sis?

By denying proper education through federally funded programs you are giving "ownership" to celebrities and urban legends to teach your kids about sex.

And what it the rationale for no condoms? The church? Does the Church deliver babies, does the Church treat sick babies? Do priests know how effective condoms are? Are they contemplating if they can afford a pregnancy?

When I want an opinion on how not to have a sexual identity, to never have sex and to never have a relationship with a woman, I'll ask a priest. He'll give me a Bronze Age perspective based on anonymous texts translated and edited by Emperors and misogynists, based on zero experience.
