 Let’s look askance!

December 20, 2006 at 10:24 am  |  politics, rant

It turns out that 95% of everyone has sex before they are married.  Wow is that not shocking, but it does raise a good point about the effectiveness of the abstinence based programs Bushie is forcing on everyone.  If 95% are going to have sex before they are married then it is important for 95% of us to know about contraceptives (preferable before we become sexually active).  Teaching sex ed is not a moral question, it is a necessity.  That aside, in the article the author paraphrases Wade Horn, assistant secretary for children and families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (who supports these abstinence based programs):

Horn said he found the high percentages of premarital sex cited in the study to be plausible, and expressed hope that society would not look askance at the small minority that chooses to remain abstinent before marriage.

Hehe.  He’s asking us to not make fun of the loser who can’t get laid.  Hehe.  (Sorry Grue)  I wonder if this is a sensitive spot for him.  Ah… juvenile humor.
