Knock Me Over With A Feather

Filed in National by on December 29, 2008

Virginity pledges don’t work.

Not only do these pledgers break their vow of celibacy at the same rate of non-oath takers, they’re dumber – since the only thing they seem to be abstaining from is birth control.  I am so sick of stupidity masquerading as morality.

    Yes, mrs. nemski read this article to me this morning. We chuckled over our tea and coffee.

    Headline of the year?

    It’s definitely no surprise that wishing away reality doesn’t work. I’m just sad that some younger people are suffering because misguided adults are giving them false and misleading information on contraception. I hope the Obama administration will end abstinence-only education, which is a complete waste of money. How much longer do we have to cater to the vocal, anti-science extremes?

    I believe right wingers see unwanted pregnancies as God’s punishment for pre-marital sex. Oh, they go on and on about the “blessing” of a new life, but deep down they’re thinking, “serves you right!”

  4. Unstable Isotope says:

    I think you’re right pandora. They see unintended pregnancy and disease as a “consequence” of having unapproved sex. Also, how else will they be able to tell the “bad” girls from the “good” girls.

    UI wrote how else will they be able to tell the “bad” girls from the “good” girls.

    Teenage boys have been trying to figure this out for years.

    Donviti is still trying to figure it out.

    Nudging feet in a public mens’ restroom will NOT get you pregnant!!! The GOP right-wing extremists are therefore smarter than they think.

    My favorite part was how most of them refused to admit they’d ever taken the pledge in the first place. “Virginity pledge? No way, I never did that. That’s for non-sex-having squares. Did I mention that I had sex? I am a totally sex-having cool person and not some lame virgin. Dude.”

    [antiquated language used for effect]

    nemski,

    Does figuring out who is good and bad involve a lot of begging? I seem to remember that part…

    LOL@disbelief

    I didn’t realize Larry Craig was that smart!

    Can one take the virginity pledge after being married for 10 years? It would be much easier to keep now 🙂

    I swore off sex, drinking and voting Republican. Oh well, 1 for 3 would make me weathly in major league baseball.

    Get that man a beer!
