| Cut Taxes, Not Children |
[Jan. 27th, 2009|04:37 pm] |
Today's headline from the Right-Wing Family Research Counsel is v. weird. The headline is Cut Taxes, Not Children. In it, Tony Perkins complains about stimulus funding supporting birth control. I guess teaching teenagers about condoms is kind of like 'cutting children'. Is the idea that if there's more birth control, there will be fewer (unwanted) pregnancies, so we've 'cut' the level of children in this country? Or is it that birth control cuts children, the same way that a knife does? It is a v. big mystery!
The best part, though, is this amazing graphic:
I'm thinking about making that an LJ icon, just for the sake of the wacky non sequitor. Seriously, this whole thing is kinda surreal. |

Great - now I feel dirty going to FRC's website. *shudders*
That graphic is pretty awesome!
What the hell? Are they serious with that logo? ...good lord, they are, aren't they...
Um, hello, it's called the family RESEARCH council for a reason. I'm sure this is all backed up with empirical evidence for factual facts... about the connection between circumcision and condom-related injuries. Obviously they're concerned about combination of contraception and cutting children.
The real issue here is whether this is a bunch of thinly-veiled antisemitism. | |
