Adolescent Sexuality by Dr. Karen Rayne

This blog is an on-going conversation about adolescent sexuality, and all of the nuances and social issues inherent to the topic. I believe…that parents have to talk to their kids about sex…that everyone has sex, and should therefore know about sex…that sex is not all bad, even for teenagers.

McCain Can’t Explain Voting Against Birth Control

McCain Can’t Explain Voting Against Birth Control

I generally don’t venture into trouncing one campaign or another in this space. But - you knew there was going to be a but - I can’t go silent in this particular presidential election. John McCain has such a poor record when it comes to voting pro-women or pro-sexuality.

You’ve got to watch this short clip from CNN.

I’m stunned - stunned! - that McCain actually said he would rather not talk about or even think about about whether health insurance companies will pay for birth control. I mean, yah - me too and stuff. But I’m a woman, and I’m in my reproductive years, and so I have to. Just like millions and millions of teenagers and adults in this country.

This is an issue that cuts across age, race, and education. Fight for your daughter’s reproductive choice. Kick McCain to the curb.

    pro-sexuality? Obama is pro-sexuality? These odd ball slogans kill whatever point we Liberals try to make. Can’t we use simple language?

  2. Robert Says:

    To me the issue here isn’t even what McCain’s positions are, it’s that he’s not even able to discuss birth control or viagra. What - is this guy 12? He’s squirming like a cartoon of a parent asked a hard question about sex. (One who hasn’t taken Dr. Karen’s class)
