Isn't the Christian Science Monitor suppose to be "Christian"? So what's up with an article like this?

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1982) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details.

The Christian Science Monitor is Christian like the Clergy for Abortion are Christian. NOT>

Honesty about sex ought to include truth about the dangers of
promiscuous sex, right? But "Sex in the City" promoted all the illusions about sex, including the Shirlet McLain notice that it is normal after dinner activity.

[Big Mack]

An abortion doesn't make a woman unpregnant, it makes her the mother of a dead baby.

[RonF]

The comments regarding the flood of sexual imagery in our lives and the fact that kids have to deal with it every day is right on the money. It's true enough that they can't deal with it out of ignorance.

Alea Woodley is fortunate that her mother didn't apply "emergency contraception" (?) to her.

Alea Woodlee is executive director of the Pro-Choice Public Education Project, a cosponsor of the 10-in-10 Gathering of young people aged 18-30 in Washington to be held on Saturday, the eve of the March for Women's Lives.

It's too bad she was orphaned at such an early age so she couldn't just ask her parents. /sarcasm

Christian Science = a 19th century cult started by Mary Baker Eddy...All of the mind science cults were the early American wave of the New Age movement...including the belief that sickness is merely an illusion to be overcome with proper thoughts. Whereas with the Christian faith, faith has an object--God, Himself; Christ, Himself...the Mind Science cults have faith in faith...it depends on you and your level of faith.

In states throughout the country, teachers have to abide by gag rules

So teachers are meant to be personal sex counselors, eh? So, tell me why is it when any discussion of sex in the marketplace in the presence of the opposite sex places folks at risk to sexual harassment complaints and lawsuits, yet it's not sexual harassment to be placing condoms on bananas in front of teens...as the pro-aborts have done thru the years?

[Westbrook]

An abortion doesn't make a woman unpregnant, it makes her the mother of a dead baby.

Exactly!

And what about the promise of universal "sex education" to lower unwed pregnancy and STD rates?

Since the implementation of the Sanger/Kinsey vision in the tax-funded, union-run government schools, unwed pregnancy and STD rates have skyrocketed to critical proportions, and the divorce rate has gone from 6% to over 50%.

And just like the cry that we need "more money" to fix the "education crisis", we need more "sex education" to fix the unwed pregnancy, STD, and family dissolution crises.

Just as there can never be enough money to fix the "education crisis", neither will there be enough "sex education" to fix the unwed pregnancy, STD, and family dissolution crises.

"Pro-choice" is really about being allowed to choose evil without consequence.

[Colofornian]

safe-sex sites

This person is a neanderthal. Safe-sex? That's language reserved for those living in a pre-HIV, pre-HPV universe.

She still believes in fairy tales and that if only the prince had practiced safe-sex kissing, Sleeping Beauty would never have been infected with a virus that woke her up and placed her at risk to terrible future diseases like pregnancy (I mean what else could have been meant by "they lived happily ever after" other than marriage, parenthood, bills and all of the other terrible things you have to deal with in this world--all those things espoused by conservatives?).

[HungarianGypsy]

I'm sure the cry isn't just "abstinance" and leaving it at that. I have heard there are now quite a few abstinance programs that tell the "why" of waiting. I still wish I had waited until I was married.

[Bart Mann]

How proud his mother must be. The indoctrination was completely successful.

Funny how Vietnam vets are 'baby killers' and pro-aborts are 'defenders of women'.

Christian Science is neither "Christian" nor "Science"

[Cicero]

We demand the right to choose to talk about sex in order to change, chart, and save our own lives.

Translation: We demand the right to do whatever we damn well choose, with no moral restraints.

[goldstategop]

The liberals have infiltrated even into publications once considered off-limits. If we don't allow abortion on demand we're considered sexist and intolerant. Its never a two way street with these people.

[the OlLine Rebel]

"Pro-choice" is really just "pro-killing". These people also believe in Dr. Kervorkian.

Funny thing is, these are the ONLY choices liberals care about. Yet they drone on and on about "freedom".

Yes, and they're the 1s who make us wear helmets and pads and safety belts under penalty of fine (so far), and molestation by police if we don't (so much for the 4th Amend). Some freedom.

[the OlLine Rebel]

"Just as there can never be enough money to fix the "education crisis", neither will there be enough "sex education" to fix the unwed pregnancy, STD, and family dissolution crises."

There will never be enough, because it just doesn't work.
