Welcome to the STD epidemic

By Iowans for Life

Prince Ernest was hopelessly in love with the lovely widow, Harriet. Harriet felt the same and threw herself into the German prince’s bed for what she assumed would be an evening of passion.

There was a problem: the prince had syphilis.

To his credit, he was able to gather himself and deter the inflamed, young woman from making a mistake that could haunt her the rest of her life. You can watch the melodrama unfold in this scene from the PBS hit series, “Victoria.”

Now syphilis is treatable

In an era before antibiotics, syphilis was devastating. Today, it can be treated with antibiotics, with this warning from the Center for Disease Control (CDC):

        The actual intent of those who began it “doing the work of their father”. America was the last of the European societies to have a strong framework of Christianity after WW2 as Europe went socialist and atheistic. The minions of the fallen one had to take care of that.
