The other day I was in DC conducting research on the REAL Act for my government paper. Fun, right? ….Anyway.
I made a few appointments with some very interesting Congressmen and Senators. Among these influential people was Senator Brownback from Kansas. I met with a member of his staff (who shall remain anonymous) and we discussed comprehensive sex education. According to her, “kids don’t want to have sex.” That’s funny…
Moving on. She also said that the Senator’s office doesn’t believe in funding anything sex related, as it is “inappropriate.” So, allocating 1.5 billion dollars in taxpayer money for an ineffective abstinence only program is appropriate? Wasteful government spending under Title V not only contributes to our economic recession, but doesn’t it fall under the category of “sex related”?
She also mentioned how she’s a firm Catholic and wouldn’t support comprehensive sex education because, like I said before, kids don’t want to have sex. Sex doesn’t fulfill children. She believes adults should hold children to a higher standard, have faith in these kids, and believe that they can remain abstinent. Since when is having sex suddenly shameful? Last time I checked, politicians are participating in these scandalous sex acts. Now they want to criminalize sex? Does this even make sense?
Such a lovely woman she was. She also mentioned that, when a woman and a man get married, they should not use contraception. WTF?
Oh, and she was entirely against EC, claiming that it is another form of abortion.
According to ec.princeton.edu,
The abortion pill, also known as mifepristone or RU-486 ("medical abortion" or "medication abortion"), is a completely different drug from
Plan B and the other
brands of birth control pills that you can use for emergency contraception.
Interesting, eh?
