CTTW Rages against "slapping on a condom" & says "it's unrealistic to say teens will have sex."

Yes it's funny that she says she can stop everyone from having sex, but what's the really interesting thing about this clip?

I'd say it's her virulent opposition to birth control. She doesn't get a chance to finish her thoughts but comparing her sentence fragments here to other interviews it's clear she is trying to say that "the sad reality is" that condoms don't work.

Telling kids to "be abstinent" is in many cases futile, as it goes against millions of years of evolution (gasp, he said the E word!) but it's cute and goofy shenanigans compared to the insidious lie of telling kids that condoms won't protect them from disease or pregnancy. Sure, condoms are not 100% foolproof, neither are parachutes, immunizations, seat belts, lightning rods, back-up hard drives and brushing your teeth. Bad things can still happen to you if you take precautions, but for gosh sakes kids, TAKE THE PRECAUTIONS ANYWAY!

Condoms are 80-99% effective depending whether you are talking about disease prevention or birth control. Yes, that's not 100%, but Christine, that's no reason to forego protection. She thinks if she tells kids (which according to her includes "young women in their thirties") that condoms don't work, they will be too scared to have sex. Maybe if we tell them seatbelts don't work they will be too scared to drive, thus preventing the high rate of teen car accidents?

I think most of us would tell them "please consider not driving, but if you're going to drive please use a seatbelt, it could save your life." And likewise with condoms.

People are saying that the amazing thing about today's brief clip is that CTTW says "yes I will" when asked if she can stop America from having sex, or stop all teenagers from having sex, (there's a lot of crosstalk)

However, here at Witch-finder general headquarters, in our interrogation dungeon here in the Dark Ages, to paraphrase CTTW's presumable mentor Queen Victoria, we are not amazed. After all with her powers of witchcraft she could probably stop all America from having sex, all it takes is another "date on a Satanic altar..." with "a little bit of blood on there" and her evil sorcery will work it's wicked witchy ways, crushing our collective carnal cravings and allowing us all to "remain chaste" like her witchiness herself.


Instead, we believe the amazing thing about this clip is that she says "It's unrealistic to say that kids are going to have sex. They're not animals in heat!"

In what universe is it unrealistic to say that teenagers will have sex even if adults tell them not to?

I don't know, perhaps we should ask her fellow Tea Party shill and teen-abistinence advocate/ unwed teen mother Bristol Palin...
