QotD: moral authority

From Susan of Texax, in comments to this post at Alicublog chronicling wingnut responses to the fiftieth anniversary of the Pill, comes this beauty:

The lesson I learned from Maggie Gallagher was that you can have sex while unmarried, get knocked up, and still have a career as a moral scold who tells everyone else that their life will be ruined if they have sex and get knocked up.

The younger generation will have to be content with Bristol Palin’s moral of the story–have sex, get knocked up, and be given five-figure speaking fees from organizations trying to discourage young women from having sex and getting knocked up.

Remember: all that stuff we tell you is bad for you and immoral is quite alright if we do it, as logn as we keep telling you later not to do as we do, just as we say.
