This woman points out how the unwanted pregnancy is the least of the worries.

The STD's are the whirlwind. The viral ones are incurable and are with you for life...some fo them do not require techical "sex" to transmit...any genital contact is all it takes...and some of them make that life terrible and much shorter. She points our how one is a major contributor to cervical cancer which is the second leading cancer killer of woman and a lot of it it is based on a viral STD.

She points out how the major media is willingly and knowingly ignoring much of this.

It is an absolutely GREAT presentation and I encourage everyone to get a copy...watch it...and then let your heart move them to action and spread it around their own communities. The good that could be accomplished by this alone are almost incalcuable in prevented misery and death of we will but act.

I intend to in my communty.

Thank you, Jeff for the informative post. And God bless this woman for having the courage and wherewithal to put the message together.

But I do have to make some note of one of your posts....... She points our how one is a major contributor to cervical cancer which is the second leading cancer killer of woman and a lot of it it is based on a viral STD.

She is refering to HPV and it needs to be remembered that HPV is the direct cause of more than 98% of all cervical cancers.

HPV (human papillioma (sp?) virus) is an STD that is generally only noticed in women because of it being the major cause of cervical cancer...........the word needs to be put out that men need to be checked for this virus as well.

Cervical cancer is NOT caused by smoking - it is caused by a virus that is tranferred through sexual relations and the so-called health industry needs to get over their obsession with cigarette smoking and do some good for a change (OK-there I've totally proved to those that have claimed it in the past I am a one-issue FReeper)

Funny you should bring this topic up. I was just thinking about this video today. Our old ward showed it to the parents and the youth. It is excellent. As a school-based RN, I wish that I could show this to all of my middle school students. This woman hits the proverbial nail on the head. Thank you for the information. I am going to buy a copy for my family. I am going to take it to the leaders in my new ward and get them to review it to show the youth there. Take care and God bless. (BTW, so sorry about your Dad. I hope your heart is healing and your family is doing well. Please send my best wishes to your sweet mother.)
