Christian Right: Condoms Cause Cancer
Friday May 20, 2005
In Bozeman, Montana, the high school invited someone to speak about sex. What they got was Tina Marie Holewinski and the tales she told the students were so outrageous that one parent is suing. It's incredible that someone with her profound ignorance on simple matters can go around making speeches at schools.
Gail Schontzler writes:
Holewinski, 27, of Hollywood, Calif., a full-time speaker with an organization called True Lies, defended her talk Tuesday as full of "hard-core facts" that could save teenagers' lives.
If she doesn't suffer from extreme ignorance, it may be that the "Lies" part is stronger than the "True" part.
Wells demanded the school give equal time to rebut the "misinformation" his son heard: that condoms lead to cancer, that birth control pills are only 20 percent effective, that sexually transmitted diseases are spread by skin contact alone, that third-trimester fetuses can be aborted, that video games lead to homicide, that human papilloma virus can be transferred through condoms and that teens can achieve "second virginity" through abstinence.
Holewinski was paid $1,500 for spouting such nonsense. I could spout nonsense for far less if high schools are anxious to throw away money, but I would recommend that they find ways to spend money on real experts who have some idea of what they are talking about.
Fortunately, the school officials have enough sense to be embarrassed about the whole thing and agree that Holewinski went "off message," if that means much. If anything good comes of this, maybe it will be that the publicity will ensure that other schools don't make the mistake of inviting Holewinski themselves.

CONDOMS DO CAUSE CANCER (…and I’m hard core anti religion)

Condoms pose deadly threat
German scientists came to the conclusion that the majority of condoms contain carcinogens causing
According to the specialists of the Institute of Chemical Research in Shtutgart, Germany, 29 out of the 32 kinds of the researched condoms contain N-Nitrosamine carcinogen.
“N-Nitrosamine is one of the most poisonous carcinogens|, said the research author. ?Condom producers should be pressed to deal with this issue|.
Scientists suspect that this carcinogen is contained in the additional substances condoms are made of. After the rubber contacts person-s skin, the dangerous substance can penetrate into the person-s organism.
Can you cite any peer-reviewed scientific studies which support your claim? Being “anti-religion” doesn’t mean that one is immune to holding false beliefs.
