NARAL hosts 'Screw Abstinence Party'
MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Just heard about this on the LOcal News!! My what shocking ideas:
Imagine, adults making decisions for themselves, without spending a dime of the Taxpayers Money!

An affiliate of one of the nation's leading abortion-rights groups is taking a hard-edged swipe at cultural conservatives by inviting young donors to a "Screw Abstinence Party."

The Washington-state affiliate of NARAL Pro-Choice America says the first-of-its-kind fund-raiser tomorrow night in Seattle targets young professionals in their 20s and 30s.

A promo for the event says: "Tired of Bush & Co. spending your tax dollars on abstinence-only-until-marriage initiatives that promote dangerous misinformation? Throw your hands up and say it loud: 'Screw Abstinence!'"

The party features the "Pork Filled Players" – described as "Seattle theater's hottest sketch comedy group" – who will perform "a sex ed class for adults." Also on the schedule is the retailer Toys in Babeland, "Seattle’s sleaze-free, sex-positive purveyors of adult toys," which will "offer tips on 'Sexy Safer Sex.'"

1. I wonder if they could get Babes in Toyland to show up
It would be apropos of the retailer.

4. I'll bet these parties would be a big hit in college towns.
(If they really exist, that is.)

5. Screw Abstinence! Sounds like a mantra for the ages...
Fuck off Fundies is a nice companion motto.
