Centers for Disease Control

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.

Read more about the survey at the New York Times, or visit the CDC website for more information.

The government is out of line. We need authority to correct ignorance as the legislation is FULL OF IT!

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!

Did you know that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs? Funny how "pro-choice" and "environmentalist" liberals never talk about that. Or how about this: the Live Earth concert to "save the planet" released more CO2 into the atmosphere than a fleet of 2,000 Humvees emit in a year? We hear a lot about AIDS in Africa, but the number one killer of children in much of Africa is malaria--and guess who was responsible for banning the pesticide that used to have malaria under control? Iain Murray, a sprightly environmental analyst with a long record of skewering liberal hypocrisy, has dug up seven of the all-time great environmental catastrophes caused by the Left and exposed them in The Really Inconvenient Truths.
