The Heritage Foundation came out today with a bogus new study with "glaring errors" that falsely claims that "Virginity Pledges" lower STD rates.
Mr. David Landry, a senior research associate at the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York, also criticized the Heritage team's reliance on self-reports of sexually transmitted diseases among those who took the pledge, saying that group would be less likely to report them. "The underreporting problem is so severe that it makes that data highly questionable," Mr. Landry told The New York Times.
The way these Neo-Puritan groups distort research is so disgusting I feel like I need to bathe after I read their reports. Groups like Heritage Foundation disrespect their members when they produce such garbage. What they are really saying is, "Our members are too stupid to know real research from propaganda."
What bothers me the most about this right wing "study" is that it was partially funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Why on earth are federal dollars being used to have a blatantly ideological and partisan organization conduct a study on sex? Did anyone truly think there was a snowball's chance in Hell the outcome of this reactionary research would not back abstinence? What a total waste of the public's money. What next, public funds for an Operation Rescue study to show that abortion is traumatic for women?
