Installing A Husband…  
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance — particularly in the flower and jewelry applications,which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many […]

In the congressional hearings held last week, comprehensive sex education supporters would like you to believe that “abstinence-only-until marriage programs simply do not work” (James Wagoner, presient of Advocates for Youth). 
However, the day before the hearings, the Heritage Foundation released a review of 21 studies of abstinence programs, 16 of which showed positive results, such […]

Can you believe this?  In Bisbee, Arizona, against the wishes of several parents, the local Bisbee School  Board voted 4-1 to in clude condoms in the “prom bags” it gives away to teenagers at the annual dance.  By doing so, they gave their blessing to a night of sexual indulgence.   The local paper covered this news with the […]

Great job Taylor Moore. There are a lot of great kids out there like Taylor who are beating the odds and raising themselves up to a higher standard rather than choosing the dangerous activities that condom educators target them with. Kids can do it if we show them the way. Check out this article about […]

Planned Parenthood’s best friend in Congress, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif), is taking another shot at ending federal support for genuine abstinence programs.  Once again, the Congressman from Beverly Hills is bringing his Hollywood values to bear on public policy, working with Planned Parenthood, the globe’s number one abortion profiteer.

Your greatest enemy is your greatest friend, “They will strive to point out your flaws and weaknesses and you can improve them and take counter measures.”

Folks, believe it or not, lesbian and “Vagina Monologues” activist Eve Ensler is now crusading to bring her disgusting play to high schools — apparently she is not content merely corrupting college girls. More evidence that the godless, libertine Left is destroying this nation and putting children in harm’s way. Please spread this story far and wide. You can write AFTAH at  mailto:americansfortruth@comcast.net> […]

The “tragic outcomes” of two recent pregnancies among Texas teenagers shows that abstinence-only sex education programs are “not working,” Peter Durkin, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas, writes in a Houston Chronicle opinion piece.  Durkin adds, “Sex education should begin “at home with parents…”
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen […]
