The Fundie War on Sex continues: New NC bill promotes youth promiscuity through the 'backdoor'

Just when you think they can't get anymore barking-at-cars insane..... :crazy:

NC's 'Healthy Youth Act' healthy in name only

The vast majority of North Carolina school districts teach abstinence until marriage -- but one family advocate in the Tar Heel State says a backdoor approach is under way in the legislature to push an agenda that promotes promiscuity.

Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League (CAL), tells OneNewsNow that under the proposed bill -- the "Healthy Youth Act" (House Bill 88) -- most students just might get the latter. "Unless parents intervene, seventh- through ninth-graders are going to be instructed on how to use more than a dozen contraceptives, ranging from condoms to 'morning-after' pills," he warns. "This bill is dangerous on several fronts...."

According to Creech, the measure labels so-called comprehensive sex-ed as "abstinence-based."

"...But this is truly a misnomer," the family advocate argues in a CAL article. "Call it what you will, 'abstinence-based comprehensive sex-ed' is simply a repackaging of the 'safe-sex' approach.

Figures on ten districts in the state that use the comprehensive sex-ed approach indicate that it is a failure in terms of preventing teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Creech stresses that another section of the bill would teach acceptance of homosexual relationships. He quotes the provision:

"'Respect for marriage and committed relationships,'" he quotes. "Now what that does is (open) the door to present unmarried, heterosexual relationships as well as homosexual, bisexual, and multi-partner relationships on the very same footing as marriage." And that, he emphasizes, is the wrong standard for North Carolina.

The bill could come up for a hearing next week, so the Christian Action League is depending on grassroots efforts to convince lawmakers to vote no.

H.B. 88 is endorsed by Equality North Carolina, an advocacy organization for homosexual, bisexual, and transgender issues.

Bill Maher? Jon Stewart? With a name like Charlie Butts, I suppose backdoor double-entendre is just second nature.
