Henry Waxman and the Sexualization of our Children

Dear Rep. Waxman,

My congratulations on your reelection to the 11th Congress of the United States and promotion to Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. As a national leader charged with overseeing the improvement of the quality of our air, the safety of our food and drugs, health care, and a growing telecommunications industry, I want to appeal to you on behalf of millions of my peers in their teens and twenties.

You’ve shown yourself to be a leader in education, women’s health research and reproductive rights for my generation. So I cannot help but wonder, why are you consistently supporting policies that are destroying an entire generation of young people my age? Your tireless campaign for abortion on demand and “comprehensive sex education” has contributed to the death of 35 million people during your tenure in the House, not to mention the countless millions of young people that have been emotionally and physically damaged as a result of aborted pregnancies and STIs.

Did you know that this year alone, 3 million of American’s teenagers join the swelling epidemic of over 19 million Americans who will contract one of 25 STIs, including some form of HPV, Chlamydia, and Syphilis? One in five of us will have had sexual intercourse before we are 15, and nearly two-thirds of us by the time we graduate high school. Yet over 90 percent of sexually active youth wish they had waited to have sex.

It’s certainly not for lack of information that this is happening. Quite the opposite. In fact,

What Hollywood fails to realize is that -- just like kids crave boundaries and discipline in general -- today's youth is yearning for "permission" to NOT be so sexual. Instead of shoving it down their throats -- and claiming it's what they want -- Tinsel Town needs to admit it's all a huge rationalization for its own wanton behavior.

Quit dragging down the kids of America to your level.

These people have a few things in mind:
-Money
-Power
-and ridding God and morals from society.

There is nothing else. They are perverted, sick people with a perpetual vision to rob, steal and destroy.

STI

For such a good article, why does the author insist on using PC terminology? An infection generally implies a microorganism that colonizes within a host, generally a bacteria, and is generally cureable.

I never thought there would be an article with “Henry Waxman” and “Sexualization” in the headline.

He really looks like Lon Chaney in Phantom of the Opera.
