Sex, that is. You know, that dirty thing that men and women do together on their wedding nights and maybe a few other times throughout years of marriage in order to populate their congregations or whatever? Dirty. Dirty dirty despicable sex. Gross nasty people touching each other in their bathing suit areas. Eww, right?

No worries, though. House leadership today increased its extremely popular and effective abstinence-only education by nearly $30 million:

“Let’s face it, with friends like these, who needs conservative Republicans?” said James Wagoner, President of Advocates for Youth. “By continuing to fund these ineffective programs, the House Democratic leadership has signaled that the health and well-being of America’s teens are not their priority. Young people and their parents should be outraged.”

[…]

“The tragedy is not simply the waste of taxpayer dollars, which this clearly is,” added Wagoner, “but it is the damage done to the young people who have been on the receiving end of distorted, inaccurate information about condoms and birth control. Democrats are officially on record as promoting ignorance in the era of
AIDS — that’s not just bad public health policy, it’s also bad ethics and it’s just bad leadership.”

Salt ‘n’ Pepa, we need you now more than ever!
