God loves Republicans

So.. I'm going to steal some material from Bill Maher. During the last stand up of his I watched he remarked that Republicans were more concerned about whether or not teenagers fucked than they were about their education. He was talking about the grand "Abstinence-only" method of "birth control" being taught in school. Apparently, teenage girls are six times more likely to give oral sex, and four times more likely to engage in anal sex.


It is for this reason that God actually loves Republicans. In what I'm about to say know that I in no way advocate sex with underage teenagers, and in saying "teens" I'm referring to the ones 18 and older (or here in Texas 17).


God loves Republicans because the Republicans have made a generation of teenage girls who will FINALLY give head and anal sex because thanks to the "Abstinence Pledge" the vagina is off limits.


And this is what gets me about the Republican party. Well, any politician really. Girls know so little about their body that they think if they don't have vaginal sex it's ok. Well, I'm not saying getting banged in the ass or giving head is bad. But what bad is when I'm talking to a fellow female about sex or birth control, they usually ask me what I use. I have an IUD. What gets me, what's sad, what makes me know in my soul our educational system has lost its priorities in this area is that blank look I get. IUD's have been around since the 1950s. It's probably the second oldest method of birth control. Well, maybe third. Diaphragms, Rhythm Method (if that is a form of birth control), and then IUD. See, the Rhythm Method doesn't work because women know so little about their bodies they're not sure when they ovulate. That's sad. There are countless women out there who don't even know that usually (not always) ovulation occurs a few days before the period. Some women it's two weeks. It depends on the women. They don't know that what sets off a menstrual period is an unfertilized egg that's being passed out of the body.


Am I just going to blame the Republican party? Eh. I could. But I'd rather blame fucking everyone. The Republicans for thinking kids are too irresponsible to know about their bodies and what's available for them to make responsible decisions. The parents for thinking their kids will be taught about 'this stuff' at school. Yeah they'll learn about it at school. But chances are, most of what they listen to is from their friends. No it's not a comfortable subject, but it's so important finding a comfortable way to go about it is imperative. And finally, to the kids themselves who've made little or no effort to find the truth. There's a wealth of information on the internet, books, older people. There are so many resources at their fingertips. But people are so scared. Not just the adults but the kids too.


I want to scream and rip out my hair when I'm talking with someone, about something I would like to think is common knowledge, and they say something like "Wow I never knew that. Glad we had this conversation." Because it should be common knowledge that birth control pills and any other medication that alters the state of a body's hormone system can be very dangerous. Not just to smokers. Not just to women over 35. It should be common knowledge, and bare with me, but it's possible, that women can get pregnant without full on vaginal intercourse. It should be common knowledge that few STDs actually have symptoms and that condoms are effective ways of preventing STDs. It should be common knowledge that you can get these same STDs in your mouth and on your ass. See, what people don't get, is that knowledge is more powerful than what's going on now. "Just don't do it." "Abstinence Pledge." This is all the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard. Teenagers are going to do it. At least equip them with the knowledge of how not to get pregnant (other than "just don't have sex") and how to prevent getting an STD. Ignoring this and keeping on the same path is only going to make things work. Most people's biggest mistakes are because they didn't know.
