Last year, there were 1.3 million abortions in the United States. Since Roe, there have been 40+ million abortions in the U.S.
There are 800+ Planned Parenthood facilities across the country, peddling contraceptives and promoting and performing abortions.
Tens of millions people in this country use contraceptives every year.
Last year, the pornography industry was worth about $13.3 billion in the U.S. alone. And Democrats should remember that buying Hustler never fed a hungry child.
But much of what we encounter in everyday life-- both in the media and walking down the street-- has become quasi-pornographic. Indeed, many porno queens are being embraced in avenues of the mainstream culture, and we can see the results of this walking around amongst us in men, women, and their attitudes.
There are more strip clubs in this nation than anywhere else in the world.
Prostitution is legal in many counties in Nevada.
There are 3.6 divorces per 1,000 total population. That's the divorce rate.
When I was in my all-girls Catholic high school, there was always a car out in the parking lot with a bumper sticker that said, "Virginity Is Curable."
Larry Craig was caught doing his thing in an airport bathroom stall. Everyone in the media was outraged. One had to wonder if maybe they thought Larry should be forced to make an honest man of the potential stallmate, had he been anything other than an undercover police officer. Maybe Larry should have proposed, or at least have dates with flowers, candy, and phone calls. Pajamagrams. Would this have been acceptable?
Then, we had the Bill and Monica romance way back when.
And we of course couldn't have some religious zealot nutcase like Mike Huckabee (who was governor of Arkansas for about ten years) in our highest political office.
And now, we have the media gasping in disbelief over the unfortunate Spitzer.
"How could such a thing happen?"
Okay. Okay, what do you guys think? Do you think maybe the abortion-on-demand, strip-club-frequenting, condom-carrying, Playboy-subscribing, Victoria's Secret-shopping, contraceptive-patch-wearing mentality might be slightly involved here?
I know you're all shocked out there in the media. I know you just cannot understand how the governor of New York could start engaging in the same dysfunctional behavior as many of his constituents. You'll excuse me for saying so, but this is outrageous behavior in some circles, in some areas. They're called "deep red states." And you make a racket out of laughting at just this same audience, those raving lunatic "evangelicals," (otherwise known as "religious people" or "enemies of the people," depending on where you are) out there, actually acting like their votes count!
We don't want to legislate morality. Arguably, they can't even legislate morally. Now, they're actually engaging in immoral acts.
What a completely unexpected outcome. Keep snickering at those wacky evangelicals because this is where it goes.
Spitzer's hypocrisy is nothing compared to the hypocrisy of the media when it comes to issues like this.
You know, because everyone is judged by his or her own individual standards in the media's view, I think Spitzer should now have to prosecute both himself and the prostitute.
It's preferable to having them condemned by the drive-bys, who will sit there, talk about the imperfect world, and stoke the fervor towards making it even more imperfect, if that's possible. Let's all be realistic. Spitzer isn't perfect. As the media will remind us, when it coincides with their own agenda, this is an imperfect world. And the media isn't perfect, either. What a shame they can't see parallels between Spitzer's case of moral schizophrenia and their own.
