It's happening again. Regardless of the outcome of this thing, it's clear that half of America is falling for the same superficial trickery that gave us eight years of George W. Bush. You know the routine.

Everyone who sees this ad can see how dirty it is. If Obama wants Americans to respect him, he should react with the kind of anger -- controlled, but still palpable -- anyone would feel if somebody did this to them.

Isn't there a strong parallel between other people dictating my right to reproduce and other people dictating what I should look like?

If Sarah Palin doesn't believe in sex education in schools, she should at least recognize that it's the parents' job to educate their children on the subject.

We can no longer wait and wonder, look to teachers in our schools to bend our daughter's ears about whether to use birth control or abstain altogether.

Looking at his statements about abortion in the big picture, Obama's character begins to appear as someone who is quick to deflect, demur, defer to his challengers.

The research on this is clear -- when parents talk explicitly about sexuality, teenagers either delay sexual activity altogether, or they use contraception when they do become sexually active.

In trying to "Swift Boat" Obama on comprehensive, age-appropriate, sex ed, the abstinence-only crowd is, in reality, just trying to rally the narrow social conservative base for McCain.
Rep. Lois Capps | Posted 05.01.2008 | Politics
Over the past decade we have spent over 1.3 billion in Federal dollars on abstinence-only education, event though these programs are ineffective and often contain false information.
