The Youth of America

I blame the religious right for this. According to a new study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, many young American men exhibit attitudes toward contraception that could best be described as “magical.” The study [PDF] surveyed American singles ages 18-29 about their perceptions about and use of contraception.

I hear you.

however, I do not wonder *why* we have reverted. I KNOW why. it's those reactionary republican *)&%$&*)^#)s who would sell out the lives of others to push their "values" on everyone else (all the while they are fucking in airport bathrooms and cheating on their wives, etc etc etc you've heard it all before). their efforts to remove real sex education and replace it with "abstinence training" (yeah how well does that work for YOU Mr Cheater?) are having a real effect, and here it is.

Well, people that get pregnant at an early age, drop out of school, never go to college, feel massive "guilt" at the simplest things are ripe pickings for the Republican party (as well as most religions).

So it really does make sense when you think about it.

“I feel like girls should tell people.”

Or. You know. You could pay attention to the commercials for these products that are ALL OVER THE TELEVISION. Asshat.

This is totally the Right Wing Conservative Republican's fault -- both the Religious Right and the Neocon's who support them for sake of votes.

Makes my blood pressure go sky high, I get so freaking mad. Oy.
