Asshats against HPV imunizations...

The genius asshats of the christian right have decided that eradicating disease isn't a good idea. They think it is fine for a disease that is directly linked to cancer, is the most common STD, and has no symptoms in 90% of those infected to go on. Their brilliant reason, the inoculation MIGHT give teens the idea that premarital sex is OK. So lets deconstruct this specious argument.

The religious right teaches premarital sex is wrong for moral reasons. It isn't supposed to have ANYTHING to do with health. It is supposedly in the bible that premarital sex is wrong. Condoms which make sex safer, dental dams which make sex safer all don't change their position on sex. When you take a moral stance how can you say that it is weakened for health reasons? Now the only way to be worried is if they admit the research is correct and that teens are already engaging in risky behavior even with their virginity pledges.

The one good thing that will come out of this, their teens that don't get the immunization, who are more likely to have risky sex, will all have their uteruses removed because that is how they deal with cervical cancer. It will be a self limiting problem.

Quote from SNL: "66% of American’s think
president bush is doing a poor job in Iraq. 33% think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs
to church."

I could see it now... Average parents warning their daughters, "Stay away from Timmy, his parents are conservative Christians, so he probably has HPV."

the idea is that we sinners deserve what we get, I suppose, and that fear of hellfire isn't enough to keep us from corrupting their kids (because we're godless heathens) so we need some earthly punishment for our promiscuous ways. hence: cervical cancer! god's scourge upon gommorha.

oh yeah, and like, rape victims totally deserve to contract HPV, too.

Unless they're guys. :)

Heh, Chloe has a great point, though. I wonder if there will be some kind of disease-ridden stigma against conservative christians. The idea cracks me up.

ugh, i can't believe this is even debatable.
