Would you be willing to immortalize his likeness onto canvass for any less?
I wanted to suggest they use his “beach pose”, but it seems the twitterverse ninja’d that idea.
More Paint.
How much more?
All of it!
Good news everybody! The Republicans are being stupid again!
Do you think the right-wing Christian forced-birth advocates will understand that the inevitable rash of abortions and unwanted poverty-stricken children and rashes is their fault? I don’t, because that would require acknowledging facts and employing reason.
Fucking throwbacks.
They’ll grow up to be poor and uneducated, and thus vote Republican. It’s a win-win!
And they’ll have someone to put to work in the fields again in a few years. I bet toddlers would work for less than immigrants. Don’t have to feed 'em as much either.
I think there might be a loophole (language warning)
Kids are waiting longer to have sex now:
This obviously doesn’t mean that abstinence education is superior, or that it even works, but it does show that it’s not crazy to think that maybe teens can be convinced not to have sex.
I didn’t say crazy, I said stupid. Do you think having sex a bit later will endow kids with any sort of knowledge about STD’s and all the other things they would learn from a real sex ed class like the one the GOP are kiboshing because sex is icky? Kids won’t just be getting a bad education because of right-wing idiots, they won’t be getting a good one.
All while the asshole in ‘charge’ chases porn stars, Playboy models and married a woman that has done soft core porn and is nothing but a gold digger. I guess the hypocrisy is no longer worth noting.
But I’m gonna bring it up. Again.
It’s like a layer of stupid followed by a layer of hypocrisy followed by another layer of stupid, served on the Kaiser roll of ignorance. Serves 325 million.
They teach about STDs and pregnancy in abstinence only classes. How do you think they scare kids to abstain? By telling them that the only way to be sure of avoiding pregnancy or disease is to abstain.
In practice, I’m not even sure what the difference is between abstinence education and regular sex ed, other than the advocacy that abstinence education involves.
It tends to leave out things like condoms, the pill, how to have safe sex, etc. Standard sex ed typically also emphasizes that the kids receiving the information probably aren’t ready to have sex yet, and that they should wait. But they add the extra hints, “But if you can’t do that, here’s what you should do to ensure that you’re safe while having sex”. Which happens to be a pretty important set of information, because that’s a really big if. Most teenagers don’t want to be abstinent, and and teenagers are famously bad at risk assessment and delayed gratification. And we know this - when we compare things like STDs and teen pregnancy in places with abstinence-only education, and places with comprehensive sex ed, the results are not promising for abstinence-only. That kids are waiting longer to have sex doesn’t do much to dispute those results.
Hell, that info is really useful for later life, as well. After all, school is for teaching life skills, or should be - not just teaching towards a standardized test.
Plus kids having less sex is probably due to the same factor that’s causing kids to smoke and drink less: kids are spending more time in childhood. Parents nowadays don’t let kids spend any time unsupervised before like 15 years old. Adulthood among the current generation doesn’t really start until 30 or so.
That’s not teaching, that’s warning.
Regular sex ed is effective; that’s the difference.
I really doubt that’s so. “Kids today” have been looked down on for generations, but I think that it’s always been unfair, and probably even more so today.
Even in the last ten years, the ‘world’ of kids today is so much broader than the little bubble that was available to me, in the late '60s and early '70s. Schools teach more, looking at the curricula - higher levels of math than was available to me, for example.
I suspect kids today are engaging in a lesser level of risky behavior is a reflection of that - they do, in fact, know better, than we did when we were their age. They still do stupid things, of course, but a little more carefully. 
Kid are having less sex because they can’t get any damned privacy. They are under 24 hour video surveillance, backed up by hover parents with GPS tracking systems.

Let your 12 year old go to the park alone and wait for the police to show up at your house. As for adulthood coming later, more 20-somethings are living with their parents than ever before.
That’s absurd. Where do you live? I see eight-year-olds walking around our town unaccompanied every day.
