Why Right Wing Crazies Love Cervical Cancer
This is what it’s like to be a conservative whackjob in America today:
Plans to vaccinate young girls against the sexually-transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer have been blocked in several US states by conservative groups, who say that doing so would encourage promiscuity.
So, to summarize:
- Having sex is bad, and
- Fear of cervical cancer might be a good way to discourage girls from doing so, but
- There’s a drug out now that completely eliminates cervical cancers transmitted via sexual intercourse; therefore
- This drug must be destroyed.
QED.
I’m not sure how long it takes to twist your brain into a state where teenagers having cancer seems preferable to teenagers having sex, but I can’t imagine it’s easy. You really have to struggle to be that stupid.
