Trump Administration Preaches Abstinence

In the midst of the Stormy Daniels affair, the Dotard administration advocates for abstinence-only education.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...nly-education/

The 10 states with the highest teen birthrates are: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Texas, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee. President Trump won in all those states except New Mexico.

Every one of those states except New Mexico is a Bible-thumping, abstinence-only kind of place. How's that working out?

Surprised GA isn’t on the list, given that Roy Moore supporters said his preying on teenage girls was “pretty normal”
down there.

Edit: Oh, wait, he’s from AL, lol. Got my Southern shithole states mixed up. Yep, it’s on the list.

Speaking of Trump shithole states, a Kentucky to outlaw child marriage stalled in their legislature.

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A bill to make 18 the legal age for marriage in Kentucky has stalled in a Senate committee amid concerns about the rights of parents to allow children to wed at a younger age, according to several lawmakers.

Known as the "child bride" bill, Senate Bill 48 was pulled off the agenda just hours before a scheduled vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee for the second time in two weeks.

"SO disappointed! My SB 48 (outlaw child marriage) won’t be called for a vote," sponsor Julie Raque Adams, a Louisville Republican, said in a Tweet early Thursday. "It is disgusting that lobbying organizations would embrace kids marrying adults. We see evidence of parents who are addicted, abusive, neglectful pushing their children into predatory arms. Appalling."

Eileen Recktenwald, the executive director of the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs, was more outspoken.

"This is legalized rape of children," she said. "We cannot allow that to continue in Kentucky, and I cannot believe we are even debating this is the year 2018 in the United States."...

Kentucky has the third-highest rate of child marriages in the nation, according to the women's justice center. Texas is first and Florida is second in child marriages.

It's not, because Bible Thumpers are full of shit. They do all of the same stupid things everyone else does, maybe more so at times. Don't you dare point it out, however 'cuz then you're a Jesus hater.........

It's Kentucky, what were you expecting? They probably don't even care if the child your marrying is your own daughter. They maybe perverts but they're forgiven. So just don't you worry about it, Mister!

Thought there was something in scripture about a millstone, or something... They might want to look that up.
