Religious Right Promotes Abortion and Disease |
http://www.startribune.com/357/story/1242231.html
"...Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty forced DFL leaders of the Legislature
to drop a comprehensive and moderate sex-education proposal from the
$14 billion education bill that passed on the last day of the 2007
session. The sex-ed proposal -- backed by educators and the public --
was blocked by the extremist conservative forces that Pawlenty has
pandered to in his quest for the national limelight."
"Abstinence-only education does not inoculate kids from exploring or
from developing into adults," says Brigid Riley, executive director of
Minnesota Organization on Adolescent Pregnancy, Prevention and
Parenting (MOAPPP). "But it's an easy thing for politicians to put our
kids' health at risk."
Clearly the religious right wants the same thing that the Giant Sky
Pixie demanded "In the beginning...". They want complete ignorance,
an they want lots of it for everyone. In that way, lots of teens can
get sexual diseases and/or get pregnant, so the religious right can
then feel superior to and lecture them, and claim shrilly:
"EvolutionDidIt".
