On Wednesday, Joe from Amplify attended the abstinence-only lobby day on Capitol Hill, and has now written a blog post about all that he saw.
While I would admittedly hate to see what kind of propaganda an abstinence-only organization would spread if they managed to attend a pro-choice lobby day — putting aside for a moment the horror they’d express while reporting a few truths — Amplify is really good at doing its research and getting their facts straight. And anyway, what is reported in this blog post seems to not stray a whole lot from abstinence-only teaching materials.
So head on over now to see what the abstinence-only proponents are spouting, and how they’re (desperately) strategizing. I particularly love the bit about “the promiscuity lobby.” Golden.
As the leader of the promiscuity lobby, I would like to remind everyone that the first rule of the promiscuity lobby is that you don’t talk about the promiscuity lobby.
[...] little story is made up. But it may as well be what some social consie organizations are doing. Via Feministe comes this Amplify Your Voice post about Abstinence Day on Capital Hill. And it looks like that [...]
Hey, information is information. If the AbIsFab people attended a pro-choice lobby day, so be it…any lobbying on Capitol Hill should be open business. ‘Should’, remember.
That said, if there’s a promiscuity lobby, sign me up.
It’s been a disturbing week. Orange County (CA)’s Board of Supervisors voted to suspend funding for Planned Parenthood and now a supervisor is asking if the funding can be diverted to a “pro-life” organization instead.
