Contraception and Sex on College Campuses

When I was at the University of Maryland (College Park campus - HUGE) in the early 1980's the slogan was "Three For Free." You could get three condoms a day for free at the student health center. Our tax dollars at work!

'But hasn't anybody realized that perhaps society is out of whack? That perhaps the President is trying to do his part to return America back to traditional values, where a person actually means something to another person? That maybe the "free sex" movement of the 1960's has run flat and has produced extremely bad fruit in its wake?

That maybe pro-choice and rabid feminism has backfired, and has only further demeaned young women on campus instead of empowering them? That maybe young college men like myself are the only remote "winners" in this whole deal--all at the expense of honor and human dignity?

Could it be that we have a national leader who values the inherent dignity of each person--who has thoughts, opinions, feelings, and a heart?'

In this age of instant gratification and objectification of young women, dignity and self respect are often lost in the shuffle. Which is quite sad to say the least.

...And the most horrifying thing of all is that the objectification is now starting in grade schools throughout America. Just go to any mall and you'll see spaghetti strapped camisoles, midriff baring tops and low riding denims for girls as young as eight. There have even been reports of thong underwear being sold at some retailers for five year olds.

...Take a trip to the local fitness center and you'd think you'd stepped into the local pick up joint, the way some of the younger women dress. Let me put it this way: Heaven forbid if a few of these girls ever got into an accident and had to be placed on a stretcher. I will not elaborate any further.

The only thing I can hope is that parents who do teach their children any values before sending them off to college have them soaked heavily in prayer.

What about the women who need to take birth control to regulate a hormonal imbalance. Women who otherwise have cysts develop, heavy bleeding and agonizing pain that incapacitates them for days? What about the women who’s only relief is to go on birth control to regulate things. Doesn’t that then fall in the category of basic health care as it not only speaks to quality of life, but to being able to function normally? I’m asking this as an honest question.
