Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

No argument here.
I think we could also add "how human reproduction works," the true teachings of Jesus Christ," and "their jobs."
Texas Republicans Caught on Tape Mansplaining: Sex Ed Gets Kids “Hot and Bothered,” Causes Pregnancy
You probably already know these cavemen think like this, but it sure is revealing to hear them letting their guard down and admitting that their agenda is not just anti-abortion, it’s anti-contraception and anti-sex education, and well, just basically misogynistic to the max: Texas Lawmaker: Sex Ed Gets Teens ‘Hot and Bothered,’ Leads to Pregnancy.
Check out the audio clip of the conversation among state Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, state Rep. Bill Zedler, R-Arlington, and state Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin. The three were speaking just minutes after the House State Affairs Committee approved legislation with extreme abortion restrictions that could cause most of the state’s clinics to close. Rep. Howard was explaining to her colleagues that responsible sex education, including information on birth control, would lower the number of unplanned pregnancies and abortions. Rep. Toth didn’t agree:
“My wife worked at a home for unwed moms, and one of the little kids that was born, his name is David. David came about as a result of his mom and dad, who were just 16 at the time, going to a Planned Parenthood deal where they taught them how to use contraceptives. They were not sexually active at that point. They got into the car, and they were so hot and bothered from this deal, he couldn’t even get the condom on.”
If you listen to the rest of the clip, you’ll hear an exasperated Rep. Howard asking her colleagues to move beyond absurd anecdotes and provide some real data to back up their arguments. Needless to say, they have no data to provide. Rep. Toth and Rep. Zedler, like so many of their colleagues at the Capitol, apparently prefer to legislate by anecdote. But we can point to some real facts on sex education:
One Woman Sarcastically Says “Hail Satan,” Entire Right Wing Goes Into Crazy Freak-Out Mode There’s something seriously wrong with the right
Thanks to Texas State Republican Rep. Scott Sanford’s moronic tweets claiming that pro-choice demonstrators were chanting “Hail Satan!” yesterday at the Texas legislature, conservatives all over the US are in a frenzy of religious fanaticism today.
Folks, this is the 21st century, but you sure wouldn’t know it from the way these people are reacting.
Hard to believe that the state that gave us Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, Lyndon Johnson (who is rolling over in his grave over what the Supreme Court did regarding voting rights) and Sam Rayburn now gives us George W. Bush, Rick Perry, Louis (terror babies, cast aspersions on my asparagus) Gohmert, Steve Stockman, Ted Cruz and numerous state level reps just too numerous to mention. Like the woman who thought a rape kit was used to clean a woman out so she doesn't get pregnant. These people are scary.
.I think you can add 'education' to the list, too.
ReplyDeleteSex is a part of "women" I guess.
ReplyDeleteThese fucktards think they are going to start a conservative revolution this way, launching Perry's POTUS ambitions again.
I think "Reality" should be on there as well.
ReplyDeleteadd The Constitution as well.

ReplyDelete@9:08, so very true, indeed; scary and sad.
