First, just because McCain is a fool when it comes to this, does not mean any bill he puts up will be passed.
Secondly, why should contraception be funded by the federal government? Our government needs to stop funding some social programs. I mean come n, if you go to school, a doctor or even talk to your parents they should be able to help you understand contraception. How and why is it the federal government's responsibility to make sure you are educated and have these materials? If you can't afford birth control, condoms and so on then don't have sex.
Schools need to teach this. Parents need to teach this. You don't need special funding to teach this. You don't need to have government step in and dictate what your school can or cannot teach, let the school board and the voters who elect the boards decide what they want taught in their systems.
I know it's cold but God damn it I'm tired of watching money go to waste. I'm tired of people turning to government for issues that are personal choice and then demand that government helps them support their personal choice. I'm tired of government being so far into our lives we can't sneeze the wrong way.
It's not a return to the "Dark Ages" it's a return to common fucking sense and personal responsibility.
