This coming Monday is Memorial Day.  A time to honor those who have died protecting the freedoms we all enjoy.  Any soldier who has been in battle remembers the sounds of war and the charge against the enemy.  They remember holding their wounded comrades as they bled and breathed their last breaths calling out for […]

I encourage you to go on line and read a recent article entitled “Abstinence at Harvard”  posted on Christianpost.com, April 22, 2008, by Chuck Colson.  I think you will find it very enlightening.  There are college students out there promoting sexual abstinence and the True Love Revolution group at Harvard is just one such group.  I applaud these […]

Young people of today are overtired, anxiety-ridden, compulsively active, and constantly depressed with recurring fits of paranoia and becoming more promiscuous and irresponsible.  The pro-aborts tell us this is normal.

There are now more growing concerns over the dangerous side effects linked to the vaccine for HPV.  The vaccine targets four types of Human Papilloma Virus that cause most cervical cancers.  The Merck product was fast tracked by the FDA in 2006 and aggressively promoted in an advertising campaign.  However, a government watchdog group now […]

The liberals say, “There’s nothing wrong with abstinence, as long as it’s done in moderation.”

Actress Kate Walsh has played a doctor on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice”; does this somehow make her an expert on reproductive health? Walsh, who sits on the Planned Parenthood’s Board of Advisors, recently hosted a congressional forum by the nation’s biggest abortion trafficer.

80% of babies aborted are from unwed mothers.  Save a baby by saving sex!! 

The recent headlines concerning abstinence issues resemble a veritable table tennis game of reporting. “Abstinence Only Not Working, Feds Say.” “Abstinence program successes.” “Experts say US sex abstinence program doesn’t work.” Back and forth. Back and forth.
Each side comes prepared with experts, testimonials, expert testimonials, and statistics (many times both sides coming with the same statistics) and asks […]

There are very few books written that deal with abstinence and abstinence related issues, plain and simple, which is why I was greatly intrigued by Tom Perrotta’s book, The Abstinence Teacher. I was convinced that I had struck literary gold as I made my way to the great American institution that is the public library and checked out my very own copy. […]

On April 29th, Planned Parenthood sent out an email calling out to its supporters to join them in challenging Presidential candidates to talk about sex.  They say, “given that it’s also hard for parents to talk with their children about sex, I guess it’s not all that surprising” (that Presidential candidates can’t talk about it).  […]

So teens are now using cell phones to take nude photos of themselves for general circulation.  They have to know that once it’s out there, it’s really out there.  That’s not just embarrassing–which it will be, sooner or later–it’s a little creepy when you think about who might be looking…and why.  […]
