La state web site hawks abstinence by saying god wants it

http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/121004/new_blancoweb001.shtml


-snip-

The ACLU is complaining about the state-funded Web site abstinence-edu.com, saying it offers quotations from the Bible and cites God's approval as reasons to wait until marriage before having sex.

A letter to Gov. Kathleen Blanco cites more than a dozen instances in which the ACLU claims the Web site violates a federal judge's order to stop using taxpayer dollars to convey religious messages or otherwise advance religion in any way.

(Blanco said)

"If that what keeps them together with themselves and prevents them from having sexual relations at too young an age, and saves us from all the social grief that follows it, then I think they should be allowed to do that," Blanco said.

A spokesman for the ACLU disagrees and says if the state continues to violate the order the organization will likely pursue the matter in court once again.

Blanco needs to be un-elected

1. LA just elected David Vitter, right-winger, as their senator
First Republican senator elected in Louisiana since reconstruction (ie, ever).

2. I like that attitude that Blanco has...
"If that...prevents them from having sex at too young an age" it should be allowed.

Hell, in that case, it should say that if you have sex too young, the boy's dick will fall off and that girls who get pregnant at a young age have to deliver their baby ANALLY and that there are confirmed reports that having sex before marriage cause massive brain hemmoraging that is fatal!

I mean, if that's what it takes!

4. I got the perfect protest to this!
Everyone....quickly...grab the closest member of the opposite sex (or same sex, if that is your preference or orientation)

On my mark...

1 - Unzip pants
2 - Arch bodies in proper positions....
3!! - BEGIN PUMPING!!!!

Take that Gov. Blanco!!!!

5. "Be fruitful and multiply."
Isn't that in the Bible? Maybe not.
