Save The Babies, But Let The Sluts Suffer With HIV
July 5th 2008 08:13
Time and time again the so called "pro-life" movement has shown it's true colors by being pro anything but life. At least not life as most people know it, in a thinking, feeling, living human being. It seems that once again the "pro-life" people have stepped up to say they are absolutely against life.
To celebrate National HIV Testing Day a group from Planned Parenthood made arrangements to pass out fliers at a local Wal-Mart. Despite what the extreme anti-choice like to claim, the fliers were in no way attempting to give porn and birth control to kindergarteners. What that would even have to do with HIV testing and prevention is beyond me anyways.
Surprisingly the fliers being handed out, on National HIV Testing Day, were full of information on how to prevent HIV and where to go to be tested. Who would have guessed that? What happened next is hardly a surprise however. The "pro-life" groups realized that preventing HIV and testing to be able to begin treatment as soon as possible might actually be a good thing for the living, including the babies they claim to want to help. Which is exactly why they stepped in and had the event canceled by Wal-Mart.
Now it would seem to me that the less people infected with HIV the better. Especially for a group so caught up in their "save the babies" rhetoric. HIV prevention means less infected parents, and the same safe sex actions that work to prevent HIV infection will work to prevent unwanted pregnancies. By blocking Planned Parenthood from helping people it would seem that this "pro-life" group actually wants HIV infected parents and numerous unwanted pregnancies that could be aborted.
So much for the babies.

when are people going to get it through their thick heads that their kids are having sex already, or will be in the near future?
it really saddens me to think how many people have caught HIV and died due to ignorance . . . you cant watch your kids at all times, they will eventually leave the house and have to make their own decisions and as a parent it is your duty to arm them with the information to protect themselves

QUOTE ME NO QUOTES!
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!!!!
And these morons LOVE to wallow in their own spiritual/mental pigshit ignorance, they love it! They do it knowingly, use the term "god" to justify any bigoted and hate filled staement and/or action, and think because they are large in numbers with some political sway, that makes them beyond criticism and eternally right.
Frankly, there should be a programme for these sorts, and the gay haters, an enforced full frontal lobotomy!!
cheers
