Christian radio host blames ‘leftists’ and ‘sex education’ for drug-resistant gonorrhea
Conservative Christian radio host Matt Barber on Tuesday said that liberals and “comprehensive sex education” had caused a new strain of gonorrhea that is resistant to traditional treatments. Earlier this year, the Center for Disease Control warned that a strain of gonorrhea had developed a resistance to the antibiotic cephalosporin,…
Catholic Church fights sex education classes in Croatia
Freshly introduced sexual education classes in Croatia’s schools has split the EU-bound country as the powerful Catholic Church challenges the centre-left government over its newest addition to the curriculum. Aimed at raising awareness on potential sexual issues and problems, the pilot “sex-ed” programme started last year and will continue to…

The current rate…
People are still afraid to say “go for it”

Who Is Your Daddy And What Does He Do?
Linda Chavez goes back to the allegation that Barack Obama wanted your five year olds to learn about double-ended dildos and plumbs it for all that it’s worth. You’ll remember the first time this popped up, our intrepid Man-Boy Detective discovered a very sordid underbelly: a bill primarily about changing…
Abstinence-only vs. comprehensive sex education
With McCain hitting Barack Obama on comprehensive sex education, I thought this would be a perfect time to highlight one of the first 4 videos Marc and I are doing for RH Reality Check. This one is on the comprehensive sex education vs. what McCain/Palin prefer—abstinence-only. This one was fun,…
Frame-up
This has to be a quick one, since I’m on my way out the door, but I just wanted to note how annoying it is that the media is buying into the frame that the Democratic abortion plank is somehow demonstrating a step backwards on choice. Reduction of the number…
