Have you ever been to Planned Parenthood? I have, with a girlfriend, and they were very helpful. Didn't push anything at all and advised condoms over pills. Gave us a bag of free condoms and asked for nothing in return. You have the wrong idea about them. Very important service they provide. Especially to young people deciding to have safe sex.

The religious right as a FACT is seriously against ANY sex education in schools and seriously AGAINST even telling kids about CONDOMS. They use the excuse that it would be promoting sex. But kids are going to have sex whether you educate them or not. Better educated than not. Religious conservatives probably cause as many abortions and unwanted pregnancies as anyone through this deluded practice. Talk to your local teachers and ask them if they're allowed to even use the word "sex" in school. Thanks to the religious right, they're not. At least here in "liberal" LA. Can't teach evolution either which is really ridiculous. Religions in general are now exposing themselves as creators of some serious problems in our world. I respect religions and they help many people but fundamentalists insists on believing folklore from 2000 years ago and denying scientific facts and inquiry. Bin Lauden is the extreme example but we have many here in home who are just as irrational. Maybe they don't blow up people but they nevertheless do more harm than good sometimes.

The mixture of the oil business and religious conservatives in the GOP is a weird and troublesome mix. At least religious conservatives should be environmentalists and stand up for God's creation, but they don't seem interested. Why is that?
