Yes, that's right...George Bush and his crazy love of abstinence has seemingly led to an increase in teen pregnancy, the first increase in more than a decade. So not only did dear old George bring us a paralyzed president during the worst domestic terror attack ever, the setting for the worst economy in decades, and Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?, but George's fear mongering apparently also brought us more little rugrats to clog our already-taxed system.
According to the USA Today, funding for abstinence "doubled from 2000 to 2003, to 120 million. By 2008, funding was at $176 million."
Does the Religious Right not realize that it is a poor move to:
1) tell kids to wait until marriage when their hormones are raging harder than a rave in an abandoned warehouse?
2) tell kids that they shouldn't be doing something?
Not sure about you, but I know when authority told me that I shouldn't be doing something, it only made me that much more curious. Telling kids not to partake in sexual relations is like telling Kirstie Alley not to eat another sandwich...it just ain't gonna happen.
Hopefully the new administration will see the value in teaching to WRAP IT UP! If you're going to partake in sexual intercourse, throw a jimmy on that hat. It is hard (no pun intended) not to see a correlation about an unrelated survey that found that "57% of sexually active respondents said they had had unprotected sex" and the fact that girls are spitting out babies like the Octomom.
In summary kids: cover your junk.
And that's how I see it...
