    I would like to have someone who is neutral on the issue. This guy though, I don't even know what to say about him. Against contraceptions? Even in married women? That's just ignorant and incredibly out of touch.


    The guy is entitled to believe what he wants in that aspect as long as it doesn't affect his decisions that affect the American public. Now, if that's possible is where it becomes problematic.

    Ask kids about abstinance. You'll probabaly get that it is vaginal intercourse that the adults don't want us to do.
    Blow jobs, hand jobs, anal sex, finger banging and everything else is okay.
    ...
    The Adults need to remember what it was like to be kids... in order to communicate with them. I believe that most adults have no idea what's going on with their kids.


    Did you see Family Guy?

    They did it in the ear to stay 'virgins'....classic.

    Yeah, all people for abstinence are ugly people. Douchebag. Maybe a majority of those for it are for it to stop against unwanted pregnancies or disease. Condoms are nowhere fullproof. I know it was a joke, but the fact that you think it has some truth makes you just a stupid as the guy Bush nominated.

    Was it the episode where they had 15 "flashbacks" that had nothing to do with the plotline? Wait, that is every episode.

    Missed that one.
    But, I do know that gals will continue to proclaim their virginity, even though they'll blow their boyfriends and butt fuck them. Gals... it called oral SEX and anal SEX for a reason.
    The adults teaching this stuff to them are out of it.

    I did get it for the first 3 seasons. But the South Park episodes about Family Guy kinda took the fun out of it.

    I find the term "anti-choice" both hilarious and pathetic at the same time...

    some feel the same way about the term "pro-life".

  • Why should married couples be discouraged to have sex whenever they want? That is madness!!!! I do think teenagers should be encouraged to "keep it in their pants" but you can't have someone with those views in a position like that.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    I don't disagree with that. I'm pretty sure this was a horrible appointment. I'm just not going to condemn the guy for his personal beliefs on the subject. I'm very torn on the whole "pro-choice" issue. I think your choice should start with not getting pregnant. I'm not saying the government should ban abortions entirely but I have a hard time with the whole "women's reproductive choices" theory for various reasons. This guy obviously is going to be a problem because he isn't for the choices it takes to not get pregnant.

    Reminds of someone that said they didn't have sexual relations when they were letting their intern blow them all over the Whitehouse..who was that again.. oh yeah Clinton. lol ;)

    Seriously though, I talked to my neice about this. She's 15 and I saw a text from a guy on her phone asking her what all she had done with guys. I told her that performing oral sex or having anal sex is still SEX!!!! And I can't even begin to fathom why girls are suddenly so okay with having anal sex anyway. :)

    I agree. That's why I'm anti-abortion.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
