WHAT THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS
One reason that the sympathizing American Civil “Liberties” Union (ACLU) is so aggressive in doing all it can to remove the Ten Commandments from public view in the public square is because one of troublesome precepts is “Thou Shalt Not KILL.” What is abortion, but KILLING? Not only does abortion kill babies, it kills the conscience and the very soul of the individual as well as the “soul” of a nation.
As long as you agree with the politically correct thought of the radical leftist, things are okay. It is when you dare to go against the grain of their thinking or policy that all hell breaks loose, literally and figuratively. For so long the true American Christian and the Conservative has been apathetic, disengaged from the real-world cultural warfare and gone along with the flow to “get along” all the time patiently waiting and hoping that sufficient Knights in Shining Armor to stack the United States Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade. We need to be shaken from our lethargy and adopt the persistent radically committed attitude that the radical left has used to procure its victories.
Here is one area in which we can begin to regain much lost ground in the cultural war, the funding of abstinence. The PPFA is not satisfied with getting 9 of the 10 dollars that the government provides for the sex education of our children. PPFA sex education is primarily condom-based and devoid of any moral, virtue or character component. It is entirely secular-humanist, even animalistic. On the other hand abstinence-based education assumes human beings are a step above base animals. Abstinence based sex education says that the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy and the dire consequence of promiscuously selfish sex is to wait for marriage, where sex can be fully and freely expressed giving ultimate physical, spiritual, emotional pleasure to the couple. One presupposition of abstinence-based sex education is the recognition that human beings are unique and not mere animals. For the true Christian there is also a recognition that we are made in the image of God and that our purpose is to bring God glory and honor. Promiscuous sex for the true Christian is an affront, insulting and dishonoring to the Creator.
WHAT AVERAGE AMERICAN PARENTS WANT
The majority of American parents agree that an abstinence-based approach to sex education for their children is best. Jane Jimenez in an article on OneNewsNow.com wrote that “If choice mattered, politicians funded by Planned Parenthood would listen to parents. And parents have clearly set out what they want for their children.” Jimenez also pointed out that a 2007 Zogby poll of parents of children age 10-16 showed the following:
...Nine out of 10 parents agree that being sexually abstinent is best for their child's health and future, with 8 in 10 strongly agreeing.
...Eight out of 10 parents think it's important for their child to wait until they're married to have sex, with 6 in 10 strongly agreeing.
...Eight out of 10 parents think sex education in public schools should place more emphasis on promoting abstinence vs. contraceptive use.
...Two out of three parents believe that promoting alternatives to intercourse (such as showering together and mutual masturbation, which are presented in some comprehensive programs) encourages sexual activity.
...Six out of 10 parents think more government funding should be given to abstinence education vs. comprehensive sex education. Only two out of 10 want more funding for comprehensive education.
TAKE ACTION
Representative John Dingle (D-Michigan, the U. S. House of Representative Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman, wants to let Title V die, thus eliminating funding for abstinence education under this bill (Title V). Congress must hear immediately from we supporters of abstinence education. Please immediately contact your representatives in the House. Urge them to follow the lead of the Senate to extend funding for Title V at least through September 30. The Capitol Switchboard can connect you to your member of Congress: (202) 224-3121.
