I guess for Sebelius a pregnant 11 yo is less risky than improperly swallowing two pills. On the other hand, if these girls cannot take pills how can they use condoms; which are sold over the counter. Maybe we should return to the good old days when you had to ask the town pharmacist for any contraception. Change indeed Mr Obama.

Amanda Marcotte? The Marcotte who wrote this gem:

“When young men learn about sex from porn, they tend to be inconsiderate lovers who know little about pleasing a woman. And young women are left not really enjoying sex and developing unhealthy attitudes about their bodies.”

—Amanda Marcotte

Did women in the recent past have unhealthy attitudes about their bodies because they married younger and did not buy into the promiscuity and alcohol empowerment program? How about having fewer “partners” as an approach to respecting and loving your “body” and maybe more quality men will love it and the rest of you too. Note to feminists: men are not here to accommodate some fantasy regarding pleasuring your body when it comes to f—-g around [now euphemistically labeled “sex positive” behavior] and they are certainly not obligated to be there for you years later to commit to you and your “broken in” healthy attitude about your bodies.

Likewise, men are not here to accommodate your abortion needs after a night of Marcotte-rated crappy drunken sex with a guy who had no reason to satisfy your “entitlement” for pleasure. Is that Spring Break behavior really worth all that displeasure and the risk of pregnancy? Think!! Women are the gatekeepers

Americans want to use the titillating allure of sex to sell everything from cars to magazines but they do not want to educate children frankly and factually on their own sexuality, they do not want to see condoms advertised at dinner because they might have to explain to a curious child what a condom is (I guess its easier to explain Viagra, Ciallis, and claw-foot bathtubs), and they certainly do not want to believe that ‘daddy’s little girl’ would ever do any of those naughty sex things until she is married!

Now, daddy’s little boy is a totally different matter; he’s just learning to be a man and the girls that he does those things with are bad girls and deserve to get pregnant or worse! They certainly do not deserve unfettered access to a drug that would somehow remove the pregnancy consequence from their wanton behavior! That will just ‘send the wrong message’. The boys that get them pregnant, well, ‘boys will be boys’ they are just ‘sowing their wild oats’ but those girls should have to pay for their behavior.

These are the same people who do not want their teens to have access to the pill, who do not want sex education in schools, who want abortion to be made illegal for all women (except of course those who can afford a private physician or trip abroad), and think that a ‘just say no’ policy will work. (Gee, it’s working so well with drugs, lets try it with sex too!)

What else should we expect in a country where we are seemingly unable to have a calm rational adult conversation about anything. Not politics, not finances, not drugs, and certainly not sex. Sad.
