Comments about sexually active teens made long before Mitt Romney was a Republican Presidential candidate (that appear to be based on a study by the conservative Heritage Foundation) are broken down by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur.

2. If that were true, there'd be fewer teens

A lot fewer.

3. Maybe you're doing it wrong, Mitt . . .

4. Mitt, you ignorant slut. NOT HAVING SEX makes teens suicidal.

6. Damn. You beat me to it.

11. I guess he thinks if they'd never had it, they wouldn't know what they were missing.

The logic is a little flawed, perhaps.

5. The Mitster makes me suicidal.

7. There aren't a lot teenage guys who aren't trying to have sex.

If you are a teenage boy and you are a virgin 9 times out of ten it is not by choice.

8. Well, there's nothing wrong with teens waiting to have sex . . .

We should respect those who want to wait or who have religious reasons for doing so, there's nothing wrong with that.

The main issue here is that Romney claims to be a moderate and yet here he is using a discredited study from a right-wing organization like the Heritage Foundation to make bizarre claims.

9. The thought

of sex with Romney would make teens suicidal. Maybe that's what he meant?

10. Mitt. Mitt. Mitt.

Oh, sweet Jeebus.
