Bye, bye, abstinence only!

It's about time! Finally, some sanity reigns in the precincts of the White House!

President Obama's budget calls for cutting out abstinence-only sex education programs, while at the same time provides additional funding for "comprehensive teen pregnancy prevention."

Would you believe we finally have a president who is not driven beholden to or driven by rightwing christianist ideology or the need to satisfy a rightwing christianist base, and is making policy on the basis of science, sanity and common sense?

After eight long years of darkness, it's hard to believe we can once again walk in the light!


This move, of course, has the rightwing christianist fruitcakes in a tizzy! In spite of the fact that every study since God created little green apples shows that abstinence education doesn't work and it's a total waste of money!

Rightwing christianist fruitcakes, as we know, however, don't give a rat's ass about truth and reason.

This Rethuglican "brainstorm" has been one big waste of tax dollars and time for years.

It's about time someone with a brain put an end to it!
