This is an interesting article on how the religious right treats sex, and people's health.

Well, ya gotta agree "don't do it" is the safest. On the other hand, no man should be making decisions about a womans body. (and *most* anti's are men...) Nor should the church or state. Anyone notice that the big new break throughs in drugs has been Rogaine (male baldness) and Viagra (male ED)?

They have rogaine for women too bd. The thing that makes me laugh is the christian compassion. This has always been lacking, look at the Spanish Inquisition for one example, of the compassion of the church. People just don't have compassion in these types of situation. They will show compassion after major disasters whether natural or manmade but when it comes to looking at individuals the compassion just seems to disappear from the group. Everyone should be first to make decisions about their own bodies.
As for viagra I don't think I want to risk even the very slight chance of blindness.

Celebacy has always been the safest, but the vaccine for the cancer helps people who get married, and then have sex. So they would rather have women die later in life who are married, and live the 'traditional' life style that they want them to live than the off chance of some young women deciding they don't want to be married, or who experiment as teens.

It's proabably a good tihng that one fo those arguing against the vaccine wasn't around when my mum read the article or they'd probably be looking for their family jewels right about now.

I truly loathe and detest those so called Christian's who think it is better for a woman to suffer and die than to have sex outside of marriage.
