Spineless, Redneck, who dropped out of college (using the term, "generically', Ute fans), when he was attending, "Down to the bee why you" is not going to make a decision on this silly sex ed bill (bull) until after the caucus tomorrow night. He needs to see where the wind is blowing. He can't risk alienating the idiots that make up the, Teabaggers around here, cause they can stop him cold at the convention if they follow their plan, and get someone even MORE ignorant as a candidate. But if he thinks he can make it out of convention, and needs to run in the WHOLE state, instead of just Utah County? He'll pay attention to the tsds Poly Sci department's survey that says 58% of the people in the WHOLE state, hate this bill, and veto it.
I don't known if I hate Jon Huntsman more for taking away my retirement health care I was promised when I signed on with the State in 1983, the year I could retire, or picking this idiot as his Lieutenant Governor and then bailing out to serve the new, Democratic President as ambassador to China. Either way, his, "legacy" around here is history.
Lets put this whole, stupid law into perspective. What do Republicans hate most? Smart people, Black people, Brown people, Gay people (pick a color, doesn't matter at THIS point), science, truth, women being able to make their own decisions, Government intervention into peoples lives unless THEY are doing it, making guns harder to get than a quart of milk, Judges who actually KNOW The Constitution and make law according to it, facts reported on NPR, or anywhere ELSE for that matter. I fell like I'm leaving something out?
OH! ABORTION! They HATE abortion! They will do ANYTHING to prevent abortion! Including shooting, Christian doctors in their OWN church's, if they provide abortions.
They hate abortion SO much, that Rick Santorum thinks a 13 year old girl, raped by a prison escapee who was in for murder should be thankful for the blessing God gave her to bring a new life into the world! Even if it would kill her, bring a horribly deformed or mentally challenged kid who would only last a day or two, who might be in total pain and cost thousands and thousand of dollars in Federal money to keep alive. Abortion is bad.
He REALLY hates abortion. But he won't do the easiest thing there is to do to prevent it. Pay attention to science, and teach teenagers how to PREVENT PREGNANCY IN THE FIRST PLACE!
And the Utah Legislature/Senate seem to be taking their orders from him.
If you tell teenagers about the dangers of drugs, you will drive them to it? Nope, not according to State Law. If you teach teenagers about gun safety? They will rain bullets on the school after they get turned down for a Homecoming Dance date request? Nope. Hunter Safety classes are offered in Utah schools. Took mine in Jr. High.
Not all kids are exposed to drugs. Not all kids have access to guns (even though that COULD be argued in Utah). But every single one of them has GENITALIA! And if you don't know how to use it properly? THAT can kill you. Make you very sick, or cause an unwanted pregnancy that might result in...
An ABORTION!
The SCIENCE says, kids who know about contraception, and how to use it are much less likely to get pregnant, or sick when they have sex.
And they are going to have sex. The Legislator's who believe they can keep kids from having sex by not talking about it forget that they were once teenagers themselves. When you are in high school, it is perfectly NORMAL to want to have sex more than make the football team, or become a cheerleader. It's, again, science. R's hate science. They wish, above all else, that science would take a back seat to their religion.
Religion is bullshit. YOU can't prove it. But I can PROVE science.
I come to this belief after being a teenager, getting a college degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminology and Corrections, with a Minor in Psychology. Spending four and a half years in the Juvenile Court System here in Utah as a Youth Corrections Counselor and then a Juvenile Court Probation Officer and then spending 18 years working for Adult Probation And Parole. I don't come to this conclusion because I read it in a book YOU think was written by your imaginary friend, who lives in the sky.
Oh, science again. I blinded the right wing with science. They have no response that can challenge this, so they will just keep talking about, "God" and what is morally right. Bullshit.
My kids have great morals and they were raised as atheists.
Every credible study shows that, "Abstinence Only" education fails. And every credible study shows that if you give the kids information, they are less likely to become pregnant, and there will be LESS abortion.
Yet the Utah Legislature wants to teach nothing about sex, OR that you shouldn't have sex. Kind of looks like the progressive, smart districts in Utah, like Murray and Park City will be faced with the choice of teaching, "ignorance", or, "ignorance ONLY" education.
Stupid. Mark my words on this. "The Gov" will follow the votes. Not the science.
