Uncle Sam (GOP theocrats) says no sex until you're 30

[Erika]

We are paying 50 million bucks to keep the government in the sex lives of its adults until they are thirty years old and married. This is an absolute outrage. Our tax $ going to enforce a religious interpretation of the right wing GOP theocrats.

So life begins at 30. Fair enough.

What bothers me is that the amount of breeding goes up around the time of a catastrophe.

And not just for pregnancies, there are emotional and emotional considerations too.

Worse, didn't a fundie tell Americans to breed more lately? (Falwell or Robertson or whoever...?)

But I don't disagree that public money is being used for a private agenda.

4. The 'amount of breeding'?

I really think people like sex all the time, don't know about the 'amount of breeding'.
I know during catastrophes pregnancies occur more; maybe they figure they'll enjoy what they can while they can, or don't have access to b.c.?

6. The guidelines also discourage condoms & contraceptives

So just have the woman stick the Bible in between her knees until she's 30 and all will be pleasing to the GOP theocrats.

These right wingers sicken me. If God had meant people to not have sex until they were 30, He would have put off puberty until the late 20's, unless the male/female could produce a marriage license. I don't think he goes for divorces either. Or is it OK for a divorcee to have sex? We need another 50 mil to clarify this part of God's will as being executed by the GOP theocracy.

10. Mom, if contraceptives have such a high failure rate,

why do I only have one brother/sister (or NONE)?" Maybe "god" is punishing us? :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. WTF? Tell me you're joking. "Fair enough?"

You're fine with the gov't attempting to dictate us not having sex until 30, which is insanely unrealistic.

Who cares whether people are having sex, regardless of when it occurs? As long as it's safer-sex then what's the big deal.

Except the gov't is trying to limit access to those contraceptives/condoms as well.

1. Thirty?

Heh. Population control.

[babylonsister]

2. Good thing that money couldn't be used for something useful, like ARMOR.

Ridiculous. And there's that pesky non-separation of church and state.

3. It's Easier to Sell a War to People Who Aren't Getting Any Sex

17. Wilhelm Reich wrote a book about that

"The Mass Psychology of Fascism"

It was one of the ones the FDA burned in 1956, IIRC.

Here's a synopsis by the Surveillance Camera Players:

5. Thirty?!

Somebody needs to repeat freshman biology. And as a former biology teacher and someone who is well past 30, I should know!

[David Zephyr]

7. That's because most Republicans never had sex until they were 30.

And they so turned off their partners that they are envious of the rest of us.

[Quantess]

21. First consensual sex, you mean.

Date rape doesn't count.

[buddysmellgood]

8. Tell that to Foley.

[Warpy]

9. The women on both sides of my family tended to marry late

as a way to reduce the possibility of having a baby every year for 15 years and being worn out in their 20s.

It is utterly unnecessary to do that now since there are several methods of birth control available. There is no reason in the world for women to deny their sexuality to adhere to some patriarch's dead letter literalism concerning a book that was written by a bunch of ancient nomads slowly moving toward civilization.

We have to remind these sanctimonious bullies that the rest of us live here, too, and that it's high time for them to learn some manners.

11. This is outrageous to me. This is Not a Christian theocracy

How dare they use my $ to further their religious interpretation. My D.C. reps will be called tomorrow.

[BlooInBloo]

13. Oh - we still listen to what religious people say? Wonderful.

[sendero]

14. I love it..

.... these dumbfucks are alienating folks faster than they can convert them.

Anyone who thinks a healthy 20-something is going to eschew sex because s/he hasn't found a marriage partner is a drooling moron.

[mykpart]

15. Just follow the example of the Bush twins.

They're both virgins - - right?

[bloom]

16. 50 million bucks

That is completely bats.

That money could be going to help people/families. Instead it's just blowing in the wind.

[Erika]

18. 50 million to spread Christian theocracy

to adult Americans. What a joke.

[Megahurtz]

28. Yeah. With their "Sex for Procreation Only" crock of shit.

:grr: Don't you just love Religion being shoved down your throat and choking on your tax dollars?

[ProgressiveEconomist]

19. k&r

[fhqwhgads]

20. as one of the oldest living virgins in america...

..i'm really glad that the dept. of health and human services is doing this, because someone posted the other day that something like 90% of people in their 20s have had sex, and it made me want to kill myself. now i feel better. thanks hhs!

:sarcasm:. mostly.

[Diane R]

22. So the taxpayers have to pay to keep Jenna and Barbara from screwing around?

Sounds to me like Jenna and Barbara should be their first students. Let bush worry about his own daughters before he thinks he's qualified to worry about what my kids do.

[elehhhhna]

23. Crikey! I always thought it was no sex AFTER 30.

[lapislzi]

24. Ha! You get a 9-month window

from the date of your marriage until the birth of your first child*...

*some restrictions apply

[elehhhhna]

25. psychic much?

:rofl:

[Megahurtz]

26. How Fucking Ridiculous.

As if these hypocritical ReThugs passing this bullshit all waited until they were thirty.:eyes:

What fucking planet are these people on?

I know what it is, they've been watching too many "ask your Doctor" commercials
and they're all high on pharmacuetical drugs.:crazy:

[KamaAina]

27. "An alarming rise in out-of-wedlock births"

funny, wasn't the teen pregnancy rate going down a while ago? Like, when Clinton was President??

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. 30?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


These people are MENTAL!

[LeftishBrit]

30. How the hell does the government stop grown-ups from having sex????

[Sapere aude]

31. "Screw that" pun intended
