A new survey released this week by the Centers for Disease Control finds that 1 in 4 teenage girls (aged 14-19) is infected with a sexually transmitted disease. Among African American girls, the number doubles.
The most common infection is HPV, but cases of Chlamydia, Herpes and Trichomoniasis were also evident.
75% of public schools offer contraceptive-based sex education programs, as opposed to abstinence-based programs. It’s simple common sense that the only sure way to avoid pregnancy and STDs is abstinence, which begs the question of why modern sexual education focuses instead on contraception. It’s clear that today's most common education approach is failing our youth.

Yeah!! We want MORE dead AIDS patients, MORE cervical cancer, MORE unintended pregnancies, MORE sexually transmitted diseases, MORE ruined lives! Preventing disease actually leads to disease!
Let's hear it for death, disease, destruction, and desperation. Yee-haw! Real conservative values at their best! |
