"I Shall Fuck No More Forever!"


Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse (pictured here) advises today's sexually active humans about Teh Nasty.

It all apparently revolves tightly and unsurprisingly around not doing it.

Because fucking makes Sweet Bebe Jebus cry and cry.

And because these people are out of their fucking minds.

Foes hit continued abstinence funding

September 30, 2007

By Cheryl Wetzstein –

Congress again has extended funding for a core abstinence-education program, sparking protests from sex-education advocates who want Democrats to pull the plug on such programs.

"Their actions defy logic and common sense," said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth.

First, Congress funds what Mr. Wagoner called unproven abstinence programs. Then it commissions a study that shows they don't work, but lawmakers ignore those results and continue to fund the programs.

"Teens deserve better policies. We all deserve better leaders," said Mr. Wagoner, whose organization stresses rights, respect and responsibility in sex education.

Rep. James P. Moran, Virginia Democrat, said he supported "with frustration" the second three-month extension of the $50 million Title V abstinence-education program and several health programs that serve low-income families.

The health programs are effective, but unfortunately they are "held hostage" to the abstinence program, "which prizes ideology over science and ... harms our children through the provision of medically inaccurate information," Mr. Moran said Wednesday. The Senate passed its extension of Title V and other health programs on Thursday.

Abstinence supporters have been playing defense, especially since April when Mathematica Policy Research Inc. released a long-awaited evaluation of four abstinence programs. It concluded that the programs didn't affect teen sexual behavior.

"Abstinence programs don't as yet have a long track record," Janice Shaw Crouse of the Beverly LaHaye Institute wrote in a paper called, "Why the Left is Attacking Abstinence Programs."

Most people are going to have sex.

Some will do it badly, and some not.

Some will have it frequently and some will not.

Some go through partners like the Polish deli down the street goes through customers during the lunch rush, and some will have a few. Maybe only one.

And some will not have sex at all.

(And some will note -- uncharitably in my opinion -- that after a few bureaucrademic (I claim this New Word in the name of the Queen of Spain!) titles, and being a speechwriter for George H. W. Bush

"...the credential cupboard stands conspicuously bare, so despite the many really, really spiffy circle-jerk blurbs written about her status as “nationally recognized speaker” for all of their hot-button bigotries by lots other extreme, right wing organizations, “Doctor” Crouse just another freedom-hating theocrat who puts her Christopath ideology before science, fact and humanity every fucking time.

She does, however, have the full backing of the “Beverly LaHaye Institute”.

Which was founded by the wife of Tim LaHayne.

Who is the co-author of the multi-million best-selling crimes against both Christianity and Literature known as the “Left behind” series.

So she’s got that going for her."


Yes some will point that out.

And some will not.)


But at the end of the day, this is a public safety and health issue on which the Christopaths have always and will always be wrong.

Some may say it is because -- like all people who live a life dependent on maintaining a massive, foundational and crippling lie -- they project their own deeply deformed sexual and social psyches out into the world and then go mad making war on the hated shadows of their own fucked up inner lives they cast upon the landscape.

And some may choose not to say that.

Regardless of motive (and we have long since moved past the point where I care much about why the lunatics have a knife to the throat of the Enlightenment, and on to the part where we have to get the knife away from these people and make sure they are never, ever allowed to play with sharp objects again), denying people honest and accurate information about disease and pregnancy prevention because Jebus said they shouldna oughtna is the moral equivalent of….
…designing schools without sprinklers, smoke detectors, fireproofing or fire escapes because schools shouldna oughtna burn in the first place.

…designing cars without seat belts, air bags or windshields because automobiles shouldna oughtna crash into stuff in the first place.

…stripping all the life boats, life jackets, GPS and radio equipment and flare guns off of ocean liners and replacing them with Bibles because Jebus should be everywhere, and ships shouldna oughtna sink in the first place.

It is nothing less than perverting the tenets of a noble faith in order to willfully endanger the lives and health of young people.

Which may not be the single most explicitly evil behavior I could imagine, but it easily makes it into the top five.

I think that red tag around her neck absorbs and neutralizes all the pheromones within a twenty foot radius.

Oh wait, that's just her.

Thank you for putting emphasis on the "perverted tenets" of this. As I recall from ten years of Catholic school, Jesus was more concerned with helping the poor and sick than making pronouncements about the evils of pre-marital sex. Perhaps if the Christian right ever followed the example of the God they claim to love, instead of desperately plucking all the condoms out of teenagers' hands, problems would actually get solved.

It's not just young people. Sometimes it's seniors, too.

Teh War On Phucking. Ay caramba. It would be winnable if it didn't feel so great (I mean seriously, the worste I ever had was fantastic) and if chicks weren't so hot.

Sometimes, the big Ranger In The Sky pays very close attention to his work.

Good luck with that abstinance thingy lady, but with Democratic majorities we certainly should not be funding wacko's who are bent on the destruction of Democrats.

Onward Christian soldiers...

An old joke from the evangelical community:

- Why does our church ban premarital sex?

- Because that might lead to dancing.

Looking at that, the good news for Janice Shaw Crouse is that she won't be getting a good fcuking any time soon........... partner regardless.

True 'dat!

Jesus didn't spend a lot of time talking about sex. IIRC, when he stopped the elders from stoning the woman taken in adultery, he told her that he didn't condemn her, but she should go and sin no more.

He did, if I recall, condemn divorce.

But on the whole, he, like most prophets, focused on justice to the poor and downtrodden. Why, I don't remember a single reference to sex in any of the Beatitudes.

Perhaps those so-called Christians could read the Gospels a little more carefully.

I would just like to say that my life has been about a billion times better since i stopped being 'baptist'.

I had pre-(abnd post-)marital sex, didn't feel BAD about it, enjoy myself, dance, sing, swear and generally do whatever the hell I feel like, without feeling like I should feel guilty for doing things. I like sex, I love my body, and I would like everyone to feel that way without feeling ashamed of themselves.

Screw religion. I'm happier now than I ever was. AND more functional, sane, and more able to make other people happy and enjoy themselves.
