    When I was living with my mom after college, I was also more likely to commit violent acts. Not due to more income (I had none) but because - I WAS LIVING WITH MY MOTHER.

    When Randall Terry says "violent convulsions," does he mean like he's going to fling himself down on the floor and start rolling around, drumming his heels, waving his fists, and screaming, and then threatening to hold his breath until he gets his way? Because I would find that amusing.

    For anyone wanting actual ~science~ and ~statistics~ regarding methods of Sex Ed and the results on the population, the Guttmacher Institute ( http://www.guttmacher.org/ ) has a series of up-to-date studies, and relevant recommendations. It's incredible. I don't understand how these statistics aren't used more in the fight for comprehensive education.

    @TheGuvnah: I'm so glad to hear it. When I worked for a local reproductive health and education group, none of my coworkers had heard of them.
    I've never heard these stats referred to by name in many of the articles I've read- I just wanted to share a fantastic resource.

    ""history will hold those in power responsible for the violent convulsions that follow."

    Really Randall? Because it's been 35+ yrs since Roe v. Wade was passed and history still isn't holding them responsible. In fact, after each violent convulsion, you and the fucking wingnuts who follow you have been held accountable. FOR 35 FUCKING YEARS.

    God, these people really are completely insane (and I mean these people, not anti-choicers in general. Most of them understand that violence only deters from the issue)

    The Alamo thing makes me so nervous. In my experience, if the rest of the case is strong, that shouldn't matter too much, but I hate that jerkface and want him to rot in jail. Screaming "Get out Satan!" or whatever as he's raping a girl? WTF.

    I feel rather cheated that I'm not breaking out into violent convulsions.

    I also feel as though we desperately need to sit the world - or at the least the country - down with a flow chart of "Choosing Your Choice".

    Correlation does not equal causation, though in general I do think abstinence-only education is a bad idea and probably is behind those trends.

    I took health class two years ago in Arkansas, with some of those people who go around to schools and teach about abstinence, and it honestly wasn't that bad. They could have talked more about contraception, but overall they were pretty thorough and discussed a lot more than just abstinence.

    @Plate2.18: My school's health education taught both and while I can't say I would go around promoting exclusive abstinence, putting it on a "menu" so to speak of sexual choices is a laudable. It is an option after all, it just shouldn't be made out to be the only one.

    @Plate2.18: then that wasn't an abstinence only program. To be eligible for federal ab-only funds, programs need to meet 8 specific criteria that includes only discussing contraception in terms of its failure rates.

    please don't be fooled by your experience. either that group/person wasn't actually a recipient of ab-only money or they were not following federal standards.

    @TheGuvnah: They were following federal standards. Like I said, they could have discussed contraception more, but I suppose you can't talk about failure rates without revealing success rates, too.

    I don't think abstinence education is a good thing, I really don't. But it was a whole lot more informative than the rest of the health class, which was taught by a football coach who worked movies into the curriculum as much as possible. I'm still not sure how Armageddon was relevant to the class.

    I do want to make note of some really awful comments made on the floor of the House by Representative Todd Tiahrt (R-Kansas) on Thursday regarding the DC abortion ban. The Congressman called the use of local funds for abortion a "financial incentive" to "encourage" women elligible for the funds to have abortions. Linking class with race, Tiahrt asked if President Obama's mother would have "taken advantage of [an abortion]." He asked the same question about Clarence Thomas, which is what makes the racial element of his line of thinking so obvious.

    OBAMA'S MOTHER IS WHITE YOU FUCKING RACIST PIG. THAT TAKES YOUR DISGUSTING, RACIST, CLASSIST, AND SEXIST COMMENT TO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF DISGUSTING. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH RESPECT FOR OUR PRESIDENT TO KNOW HIS FUCKING LINEAGE??? WERE YOU NOT AROUND FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS?!

    You don't deserve to step foot in my goddamn city, much less have any CONTROL over it. Go die in a fire.
