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.

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

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?

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

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?).

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.

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"

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.

Never confuse Christian Science with Christianity. It's "Christian" in the same way that Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism are--some "prophet" came along and preached a different gospel than the one Paul preached, and a bunch of folk bought into it as the one truth.

The consequence of this hypocrisy is the endangerment of youth. We have a new generation that includes young "virgins" who have oral sex; but because they think oral sex isn't sex, they don't worry about disease.

This is all Bush's fault. I mean he shouldn't have been getting BJ's in the oval orifice. Then tried to change the meaning of the word 'is'. I mean...oops wrong guy.

But as you look closely at the faces in Sunday's crowd, you will see the beginnings of a change. I will be among the thousands of young women - and men - aged 30 and under who are joining the reproductive rights movement our mothers started, and making it our own.

Sure Alea, go ahead and keep kidding yourself that there's a massive follow-on wave of Gen X and Y abortion fans. There aren't. Ultrasound and crisis pregnancy centers cured that, which is why we're now seeing the pro-aborts scramble to change their paradigm from "Shutup, it's a lump" to "Yeah it's a human, but you don't get to tell me what to do with it, you blue-bellied Yankee abolitionist darkie-lover fundamentalist sexually-repressed anti-choice jerk."

Even Congress has contributed to the deluge, moving the conversation of one president's sex life from the locker room to a national, public discussion played out in the media.

Of course, that couldn't have happened because he lied under oath...It must have been Congress' fault.

despite all the in-your-face exposure, too often the first thing we do is tell kids to shut up.

Shut up and put that condom on the banana, kid, we ain't got all day.

The Bush administration's answer to all this sex is simple: abstinence. This conveys a clear message to young people: See sex on TV, hear about sex on the radio, buy sex at the mall, get sex spam in your e-mail inbox, but just don't have sex.

And the answer to this conundrum? Taxpayer supported abortion on demand! Yippee! Problem solved!

We have a new generation that includes young "virgins" who have oral sex; but because they think oral sex isn't sex, they don't worry about disease.

I am shocked at the amazing wisdom in this article. Who knew President Bush was the cause of 7th graders giving Monicas to their classmates?

Incorrect information about emergency contraception has stopped many young women from seeking the protection they need when condoms break

What incorrect info? It can't be any worse than the ludicrous idea that condoms make being promiscuous "safe" which you and your crowd have been promoting for the last 30+ years.

Even those youth who do remain complete virgins still have to deal with the images they see and their friends' choices; but, more often than not, they have to deal with it without the insight of adults.

And again, the answer to too much sex on TV and lack of quality parenting is...Taxpayer supported abortion on demand! Yippee! Problem solved!

The rising generation of leaders in the sexual health movement are redefining what being pro-choice means. It is about true access to safe-sex education, emergency contraception, nonjudgmental healthcare for gay and lesbian youth, HIV/AIDS prevention, and universal healthcare.

Let's all humor Alea for a moment and pretend that Planned Parenthood et al was never interested in any of these things before she came along.

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

No, what you're asking for is the "right" to go into the schools at the elementary level and spew propaganda to a bunch of little kids. But I'll humor you again: Who's shutting you up? How is any pro-lifer, especially G.W. Bush, preventing anyone from saving anyone's life?

The irony is that we're being more adult than those currently in the White House.

When I think of the Lewinsky Clinton Administration, "Adult" is the first word I think of! And how come she gets to blame people for talking about sex during the Clinton years and for not talking about sex during the Bush years?

There's something juvenile about playing with sexual innuendo in the media, and then not being able to handle a serious, responsible conversation about sex.

There's something sociopathic about demanding that a small child die a horrible death so you can have all the sex you feel like having.

Like every generation before us, we're changing the culture of our nation.

Man I hope you're right--I hope that your disgusting blather will help push the nation in a pro-life direction by displaying the murderous drivel that makes up your beliefs.
