Hot on the heels of assuring the American people that he got the message, George Bush has nominated
Erik Keroack to direct Title X, the federal program that distributes funding to family planning and pregnancy crisis clinics. His instructions are "to provide access to contraceptive supplies and information to all who want and need them with priority given to low-income persons." The budget for Title X last year was some $280 million dollars.
Except Keroack is a freaking lunatic who directed a "
pregnancy crisis center" that sought to mislead women seeking an abortion to come in, at which point they would bombard her with "Jesus luuuvs you and your baby messages." Keroack has said that contraception is "demeaning to women," apparently because it interferes with their god-directed duty to be a quiver producing arrows for God's army, to "present their bodies as
living sacrifices to the Lord."
But Keroack has finally explained why Southern Baptists have the highest rates of divorce of any creed in this country. People have only so much love, and some people
use it up too fast. His argument is that oxytocin reception, the brain's chemical reward marker for doing pleasurable things such as hugs, massage, social interactions, and sex, can be burned out if one has sex too much. He said, "People who have misused their sexual faculty and become bonded to multiple persons will diminish the power of oxytocin to maintain a permanent bond with an individual."
As Majikthise pointed out, this guy believes that if you do it once too often,
you'll never love again. This begs the question: what about wanking?
