Concerned Women for America seems to have a moron for its President

Wendy Wright - here she is claiming that " proponents of comprehensive sex education are trying to “encourage” sex because “they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions.” :

Presumably, this would be "Big O" trying to make money out of sex?

It's beyond parody, really.

1. CWA full of morons

So she thinks that comprehensive sex ed people financially benefit from teens getting STDs and abortions? I want some of what she's smoking!

There was a woman on some talk show years ago from that or a similar organization who honestly believed if teenagers were never taught about sex they wouldn't do it. It was probably Phylis Schlafly. I firmly believe that people who believe this don't have really good sex or think 'really good sex' means missionary for 3 minutes.

3. Sex phobic women with GOP duds for husbands

make up that organization. The core leadership is male. Wendy's just the sweet, submissive little woman they trot out to spout the talking points.

Yes, they're self parody. Let's just hope more people start to get the joke.

5. Just going by the numbers...

...if what she said is true, and proponents of sex education raked in the cash when kids get STDs and have abortions, then they should be pushing for abstinence-only education as that seems to result in the most STDs and unwanted pregnancies.
