Santorum on Abstinence

1. I guess there are people who take Santorum seriously

But they would have to be people who either never had any hormones, or don't yet have ones that are functional.

2. Why would he do that?

Because reality-based sex education brings about better results you dumbfuck!

5. C'mon....Don't you know how well abstinence education works?

Why, not at all. Even the most pious get horny. I think SEX is a basic drive in Maslow's heirarchy...just like hunger. We don't teach abstinence because it has not worked. But, that's a fact and, afterall, we all know facts don't count.

3. Abstinence IN MARRIAGE, too?

You are married and you have a couple of kids, don't want or can't afford anymore? You are in your say early or mid 30s with a LOT of fertile years ahead of you. Abstinence until MENOPAUSE, since BC is EVIL? GOD will give you the money to support these kids. Forget if the wife has a medical condition which could kill her having more babies. DIE. You must be a SINNER and God is punishing you.

Yeah, it is only UNMARRIED couples who want, need, or use BC. A ring on your finger solves EVERYTHING, according to these religious freaks. No working poor, or unemployed, couples are EVER married.

4. Just because he doesn't really desire women

Doesn't mean we should all suffer due to his overcompensation. That is why he goes on these terrible crusades against gays, and then ultimately against Muslims. He's brown nosing God.

6. He is correct questions should be asked

Rick Santorum:

Did your future wife use birth control while she lived with the abortion provider??
Did you and your wife engage in per-marital sex??
If you did, did you use birth control??

7. How can they just stand there and lie like that?

I wish there was a law that said if a politician lies to the public, then they would face fines; and if there were too many lies told, then they could face actual time in jail.

I'm so tired of these asses telling lies... People, in general, believe that politicians, for the most part, are telling them something that is true. They don't believe that they are upstanding or that they aren't often more like used car sales people trying to sell you a lemon for your vote... but when it comes to actualized policy, they expect that their is a modicum of truth to what the person is talking about...

It doesn't even pass the common sense sniff test. Why would President Obama dictate that schools cannot teach about "abstinence"? It would make more sense to me that President Obama, or more aptly the Dept of Health and Human Services in concert with Dept of Education have told schools that they 1) must teach Sex Education and 2) that the education must include all types of preventative methods to keep one safe along and being safe and no feeling pressured into having sex before being ready... oh and that oral sex and anal sex are still sex, even if one's hymen is still intact.

I seriously doubt that congress or the President has considered legislation like this....And Sebelius banned Plan B from being sold on the shelf, even though the FDA approved the safety of the drug . Women, in general, have been the grand bargaining chip in DC to get things moved forward. So, access to info/ care/ and health has become harder to come by for women.

Nope, I don't believe ole' Frothy when he basically decides to say that President Obama is making our children learn about sex without speaking about abstinence.

8. EWWWW!

YouTube has Santorum on it!

9. He really should just be a preacher in some nowhere town and leave politics to someone else.

10. Ah!- "less economic potential" read "more jobs for men in the workplace when

their wives stay at home and raise their children like The Bible says they should"!
