Alabama gets an "F" in sexual health

Sexual Health

The American Civil Liberties Union sponsored the event to expand on the theory espoused by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof in his January 2003 article, "The War On Condoms." He describes the push for abstinence-only education and some conservative groups' insistence on the inadequacy of condoms as "downright weird."

Green also described a report card published every three years by a sexual health organization in which each state is graded from A to F based on criteria such as gay rights, sex education and abortion availability. Pennsylvania has never scored higher than a D-minus, and only ranks above the 11 states that failed. She referenced the F-ranked Alabama's policy that made the possession of a vibrator illegal. This policy existed until less than two years ago.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Alabama gets an "F" in sexual health. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
