AP Biased Poll: 67% of Parents Want Schools To Give Birth Control
Posted on November 1, 2007
You may remember the controversy over a middle school in Maine providing birth control to eleven year olds without parental consent. It was a hot topic a few weeks ago. Well, now we have this nice piece of propaganda from the AP.
People decisively favor letting their public schools provide birth control to students, but they also voice misgivings that divide them along generational, income and racial lines, a poll showed.
Sixty-seven percent support giving contraceptives to students, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll. About as many — 62 percent — said they believe providing birth control reduces the number of teenage pregnancies.
“Kids are kids,” said Danielle Kessenger, 39, a mother of three young children from Jacksonville, Fla., who supports providing contraceptives to those who request them. “I was a teenager once and parents don’t know everything, though we think we do.”
Yet most who support schools distributing contraceptives prefer that they go to children whose parents have consented. People are also closely divided over whether sex education and birth control are more effective than stressing morality and abstinence, and whether giving contraceptives to teenagers encourages them to have sexual intercourse.
Wow! So, lets take a look at the details of the poll. Sweetness and Light rips the poll apart.
Remember:
Sixty-seven percent support giving contraceptives to students, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll.
Here is polling question upon which this grandiose claim rests:
Is that how you read the results? That 67% support giving contraceptives to students?
Doesn’t this mean that only 30% approve of doing so, unless the school has the consent of the parents?
And speaking of parents, most of the respondents aren’t:
That is enough for me to toss this poll out the window, but if you need more convincing…Sweetness and Light keeps rippin.

Holy crap, they want students to have birth control?!? Are those people nuts? What would we do with all the unemployed abortion doctors?
For all the married or attached people who believe that giving birth control to children is not a form of assent I ask you this: if the male in your partnership (given that such a partner exists) is going on a business trip, would you offer him a condom on the probability that he may find someone with whom “sexual relations” would be enjoyable? Is it possible that asking your male S.O. to always carry “protection” just in case might have the feel of giving license to this objectionable behavior?
For everyone else: pull your kids from the government schools before every last bit of innocence is robbed from them!
Are 63% of adult Americans really childless or is this a survey of a population that is not in proportion to the average American population. This is probably a poll in a more liberal area as conservatives are more prone to have children.
You stupid Americans. Why do you not listen to your conservative wing?
If I give my wife a condom before she leaves for work and say to her, dear,
here is a condom to take with you but this is to prevent you from getting pregnant
she will look at me and say to me that I am wanting her to have sex with another
man! What cowardism and and a foolish people that have no children that are trying to destroy good parenting.
Are you so foolish in America that your once great country is being taken over
by the left hand full of leprosy.
America you are doomed if you do not stand up and affirm your heritage of principle.

Unfortunately abortion doctors, under the present set up, will never be out of work. but, indeed their income might be lessened. Why do you think Planned Parenthood is pushing so hard to expand their source of customers?
But, just think of the irony School to work for out of work abortionists, life long learning for the sex industry displaced workers?
What a gerat idea!
