Bush impregnated & gave STD's to 1000's of boys&girls while in office!!!

Teenage pregnancies and syphilis have risen sharply among a generation of American school girls who were urged to avoid sex before marriage under George Bush's evangelically-driven education policy, according to a new report by the US's major public health body.

In a report that will surprise few of Bush's critics on the issue, the Centres for Disease Control says years of falling rates of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease infections under previous administrations were reversed or stalled in the Bush years. According to the CDC, birth rates among teenagers aged 15 or older had been in decline since 1991 but are up sharply in more than half of American states since 2005. The study also revealed that the number of teenage females with syphilis has risen by nearly half after a significant decrease while a two-decade fall in the gonorrhea infection rate is being reversed. The number of Aids cases in adolescent boys has nearly doubled.

The CDC says that southern states, where there is often the greatest emphasis on abstinence and religion, tend to have the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and STDs.

In addition, about 16,000 pregnancies were reported among 10- to 14-year-old girls in 2004 and a similar number of young people in the age group reported having a sexually transmitted disease.

"It is disheartening that after years of improvement with respect to teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, we now see signs that progress is stalling and many of these trends are going in the wrong direction," said Janet Collins, a CDC director.

Although the CDC does not attribute a cause, groups that support comprehensive sex education have seized on the report as evidence of the failure of religiously-driven policies that shy away from teaching about contraception in favour of emphasising avoiding sexual contact.

Planned Parenthood said the CDC report is "alarming" and confirms that teenagers need "medically accurate, age-appropriate, comprehensive sex education".

But supporters of abstinence-based education said that the new report shows that there is too little not too much emphasis on discouraging sex before marriage.

Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for American Values, which describes itself as a supporter of traditional marriage and "against liberal education and cultural forces", said the abstinence message is overwhelmed by a culture obsessed with sex.

"It is ridiculous to say that a programme we nominally invest in has failed when it fails to overcome the most sexualised culture in world history. Education that emphasises abstinence as the best option for teens makes up a minuscule part of overall sex education in the United States," she said.

"In every other area of public policy - food, drugs, alcohol - we tell children what is the best choice. It seems very bizarre that the sex education establishment rejects the idea that we should talk to kids about what is best for them. We don't take vodka to drivers education because children will drink and drive."

Linky

So for the younger crowd around here....how did it feel to get sodomized by Bush?

That last part actually sounds like a very good idea. Of course you'd want to use a simulator rather than a real car.

I didn't get an STD while Bush was in office (or Clinton, for that matter). Didn't get a girl pregnant, either.

Of course, I didn't dip my wick into a well of spirochetes, either. And it couldn't possibly be the fault of the no-longer-virgins, could it?

Almost a third of the country is clinically obese--a much higher rate than have teenage pregnancies or STDs. Should we be passing out ephedra pills in health class? 45M Americans smoke--don't they talk about that in health class?

Let's just make it easy. As part of "National Health Care", everyone gets blood tested for HIV and other STDs every 6 months or so. If you have one, you get a tattoo on your butt that says "I have (insert disease here)!" Then, you can have sex AND be informed! /sarcasm

I was under the impression that we've had condom-using Sex Ed mandated in public schools for many years now. I mean, maybe CA and WA are much more liberal in this than other places, but I learned about sex ed for the first time in school in 6th grade and learned about condom use in 9th grade health class. And from other places I've read, it seems that this is a larger problem for demographics that are generally at-risk for dropping out and poorer education at-large. Is it waaaay out there to assume that the training (abstinence or not) is effective, but more effective for those that actually go to schools who teach it competently?

It bothers me a bit when I see the responsibility of children's actions put on the desk of the president, and not on the child or their parent. But at least you can go to the places in pink and get an abortion at 13 without telling anyone except the doctor.

I kind of like that tattoo idea.
The problem about abstinence only teaching, is that's all they teach. So then kids end up having sex anyways and they think that condoms don't work so why bother using them! Just pull out and everything's fine... RIGHT?!?!

me too. I think we definitely ought to do that.

Also, it teaches kids that adults are idiots. Which, while true, is not something that really needs to be reinforced.
