Abstinence Only Until Marriage and Faithfulness in Marriage

[HockeyMom]

That is the Bush Administration Sex Eduction Policy. Forget ABORTION. Just think about it. WHERE do you hear ANY mention of Birth Control in that - even for married couples? How do they intend to strike down Roe without striking down Griswold? If you visit any of these so called "christian" sites, they all say even Griswold is an "abomination."

To put this in perspective regarding his nomination of Alito for SCOTUS, this very closely mirrors the Catholic Church's stance on birth control which is that it is EVIL. If you are unmarried, you "cross you legs" and don't have sex AT ALL, no matter your age.

If you ARE married, if you don't screw around then you don't NEED BC. You will use Natural Family Planning, i.e, Rhythm, to SPACE your children, not to PREVENT their conception. When you are married, you WELCOME all children that "God may give you." This is precisely why the Fundies and the Catholics are now so aligned. Plus, now there is an ACTIVIST Pope in mix, who has promoted the Catholic Church LEGISLATING their religion into government policy. This is why nominating somebody like an Alito is so dangerous to our secular society. Yes, one can argue that we still have states rights, BUT they can always pass FEDERAL laws which will supersede state laws.

Just to tell you where I am coming from, I was raised a Catholic and spent 12 years in Catholic School, so I KNOW where they are coming from. I also had the misfortune to have an ectopic pg in a Catholic Hospital and nearly lost my life because the good "christian" doctors and nurses couldn't "kill a 5 week old baby" in my Fallopian tube.

Call, write to you Congresspeople to vote NO to Alito.
