CDC's top laboratory on STDs is shut by Trump administration

Is there some benefit here for Trump voters?

I don't see it.

But then again, I don't see how a trade war against the world is going to "Make America Great Again" either. It is much more likely to do the opposite.

They are encouraged to use abstention, that way only Bad People get STDs.

Edit: I was going to say, also don't get raped, but then I remembered, only people asking for it, i.e., Bad People get raped.

Is there something wrong with the practice of abstinence, or marital fidelity?

I mean, sex inevitably causes babies: it’s an incontrovertible but inconvenient truth for the modern urban human species. But we were designed that way, yes?

I'm gay, how does my having sex create babies?

But that's all beside the point, none of this is something the government should be acting to coerce. Abstinence is fine as a personal choice.

I fully agree with that logic, and further think that the government should also not be subsidizing risky behavior through funding for STD treatment and prevention. People should get private insurance based on a lifestyle questionnaire to ensure that all costs are being appropriately allocated based on one's risk profile. If it turns out that it's significantly cheaper to be in a long-term monogamous relationship, well, then that's just the invisible hand of the market at work!
