1. Lawmaker Targets Cervical Cancer

by Bob Kellogg, correspondent

The continual propagation of the "safe sex" myth is leading the nation toward an epidemic of cervical cancer. So says a congressman who is also a physician. According to Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla., who is also a medical doctor, women are trusting what their government tells them : They believe condoms will protect them from the consequences of promiscuous sex.

Unfortunately, a sexually transmitted disease--the human papilloma virus--has been linked to cervical cancer, a leading cause of death among women. Weldon said condoms do virtually nothing to stop the spread of this deadly virus. "Thousands and thousands of women have been sold a bill of goods that the condom provides them protection. It doesn't," he said. Dr. David Hager, of the University of Kentucky School of Medicine, believes there is already an epidemic of sexually transmitted infections, "with 12 million to 15 million newcases each year, and 3 million of those cases occurring in adolescents." Hager said the disease is especially spreading among college students." Some studies indicate that 40 to 45 percent of college co-eds are positive for this virus," Hager said.

Weldon believes it is unconscionable for the Centers for Disease Control to promote "safe-sex." "For all these years to be out there promoting condoms as a way of protecting people is just morally, ethically wrong," he said. "It's almost malpractice." Weldon would like to see some infected women file a class action lawsuit. There is no cure for the virus, he said. "(They) could legitimately take the federal government to court based on the false doctrines of 'safe sex,' " Weldonsaid. Dr. Jeffrey Koplan, who recently resigned as the head of the Centers for Disease Control, was a main proponent of the safe-sex/condom philosophy.
