Wisconsin Votes For Abstinence - ???

[Stealth694]

As a Wisconsinite I can give a more upclose and personal observation:
This " Abstinence " issue is something that the Republicans in the state have to do to keep the insurance corps "donating" for their campaigns.
Most Wisconsinites look at the Republican party as an whore whose wares are getting a bit to old to be attractive.
The recall election's have already made one Senator who was up for recall resign and I have a feeling there will be several more resignations before June 5.

This is good to hear. Maybe it will make legislators think more about what the people really need and want instead of what they can force the people to take while the politicians line their own pockets. And maybe it will show the theocrats that the American people aren't interested in a revival of the Inquisition.

I don't understand this. What does abstinence have to do with insurance? Telling kids not to have sex is like telling them not to breathe. How does that help the insurance companies? Instead of paying a few bucks a month for contraceptives, they wind up paying for higher rates of pregnancies, and putting more kids on assistance programs. No, from everything I've seen, this abstinence crap is strictly fundamentalist garbage which has been shown not to work.
