This is an excerpt from a column I wrote for WorldNetDaily.com last week. It is about how politically correct sex education is harming girls' health. The full version can be reached through the link above.
As an intern at the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, I’ve been working with our Senior Fellow, Miriam Grossman, M.D., author of the book Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student. Dr. Grossman has garnered media attention because she exposed the fact that health educators often risk students’ well-being in order to promote a particular ideology -- usually a combination of feminism, androgyny, and “anything goes” liberalism.
In the upside-down world of politically correct health care, the main priority is to never make “moral judgments” about a patient’s behavior, and factual information is suppressed if it threatens political agendas.
I’ve been researching sex education and sexual health care for Dr. Grossman’s columns and articles. I’ve browsed health websites, “sex ed” manuals, even teen magazines like CosmoGIRL and Seventeen. Although much of the health information is politicized, the advice offered to young girls on sexual decision-making is downright scandalous.
“There is no right time to have your first intercourse. This is a choice you make,” declares GoAskAlice.com, a popular health Web site. This canard is repeated ad nauseum in sex education programs and magazines geared toward middle and high school students, such as Seventeen (don’t let the name fool you – most of its readership is under 16).
“There is no correct age at which you are ‘supposed’ to have sex,” declares the health Web site coolnurse.com. “Everyone has to make a very personal decision about what is right for them.”
Really? What if a girl decides sex is right for her at age 12 or 13?

Welcome to FR....
Most girls who get pregnant already know about birth control. They just refuse to use it. If the guy refuses to use a condom, what’s the girl going to say? No? If she could do that, they wouldn’t be talking about a condom.
Good job! And welcome to FR!!
You know the destruction of marriage and family has always been a plank regarding genocide.
It’s usually implemented at the same time children are killed or the public’s told there’s overpopulation.
See Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler
There’s no intimacy in sex here. It’s more or less something to do when you’re bored or feeling “horny”.
I want to say that younger women have more emotionally invested in the sexual act, but by judging the women who are just as emotionally deattached as their male counterparts, well.....recreational sex is similar to masturbation. Once you’re done, the interest fades and you find something else to beat off on. *pardon the risque lingue*

Question: I saw the Flickr link in your FR profile. How does what you wrote jive with what you wear? It seems like they are contradictory.
P.C. is not only affecting girls health...it is affecting the health of the entire country!
Are you kidding? I went to see the pics. She’s gorgeous, and covered in all the right places.
After all, she’s not a nun.
#3 and the following paragraphs seem like the may be relevant here...
Indeed! I think there are three main reasons arranged marriages have a high success rate:
1) The couple goes into the marriage without unrealistically high expectations.
2) The families don’t select based on lust.
3) In the societies that practice arranged marriage it is very likely that the first sexual partner is the new spouse.
By the time they have worked their way through the Kama Sutra (for example) they are pretty thoroughly imprinted on each other.
Contrast that to the dozens or even scores of partners the typical bride and groom may have here, the sense of bonding is so blurred and degraded that it can’t act as a glue to hold them together.

I feel so sorry for girls now days because they skip the romance.
Modesty is more than being “covered in all the right places.” And it’s not about being dress in a nun’s habit or a Islamic veil. Find the happy medium.
One writer I saw put it like this: "A woman who is communal property is beyond individual interest."
This is the goal of the Sex Positive agenda. End ALL moral judgements over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).
Sex Positive proponents oppose abstinence not because "it doesn't work" but because they see sexual pleasure as a birthright and seek to see everyone sexually active at every age. They see abstinence as "unhealthy" because it is a supression of sexual desires.
I think that it is positive.org that has a campaign called "just say YES" because there are too many stuffy adults already telling kids what they can and cannot do.
The Sex Positive agenda has been defined by Kinsey, Reich, and feminists.
Planned Parenthood makes no money when kids say “No”. They sell birth control, counseling, and abortions.
Definitely Not Guilty.
I’m 51 years old and female and STRAIGHT. While I wouldn’t want those photos taken of a 16 year old, they are well within the bounds of good taste. She’s lovely and let’s face it: that window closes way fast, so enjoy it while you can! LOL
Welcome to FR, Ashley.
One way to stop teenagers from having premarital sex is to stop their hypersexualization, which includes immodest dress.
A reasoned basis for this statement is probably too much to ask.
The following is a simple natural law argument for monogamy and post-marital sex.
1) Looking at the bodies of men and women, it's obvious that they play complementary roles in the process of bringing new human life into the world. This is the way nature meant children to come into the world, hence the term, "reproductive system" or "genitals."
2) No reasonable person would argue that children are better off raised by anyone other than their biological parents. Nevertheless, there are some unreasonable people who do. These people need to become acquainted with the data regarding the rate of sexual abuse by step-parents.
3) And if it's not obvious that children are generally better off being raised by both of their natural parents, then again, I would point them to the sociological data regarding the effect of divorce on children.
4) The act of sexual intercouse is pleasurable and ordered by nature toward procreation. It is also unitive, as common sense, common experience, and current scientific data affirms.
5) It follows then that this unitive aspect of intercourse is ordered by nature toward the unity of the man and woman for their benefit(4), and also for the benefit of the children who may issue from the act (2).
6) Moreover, nature intends this unitive bonding to be lifelong, since the children of parents bonded together for life are generally happier and healthier than children raised otherwise (3).
7) If one or the other members of the bonded couple engages in intercourse with a third person, then new natural bonds will be formed, weakening the original bond which nature intended, to the detriment of the original couple and their children (5).
8) Since nature intends intercourse to unify the couple for life, for the benefit of the couple and the benefit of children which may issue from the act, no man or woman should engage in intercourse without having made a lifetime commitment to the other partner.
8) Therefore, intercourse outside of a lifetime commitment is harmful and wrong.
All those exposed bosoms are used by professional women to intimidate men. A work tool!
You're right on the mark. It's mutual masturbation, to coin a phrase.
Check it out... very informative!!
Now you’re getting ridiculous. ;-)

Curious name for a website. "Go Ask Alice" is the (true) diary of a young girl who "choose" to be a drug user and what her life was like as a drug user. It has a curious ending which you can see if you highlight the following:
"Alice"'s final entry indicates that she's going to get on with her life now. Ironically, the epilogue notes that within a couple of weeks of making that entry, after she's cured, she died of a drug overdose.
Check your FReepmail.
She hooks up with Jerry Lee Lewis, and bang, game on.
As someone who worked in advertising and marketing for many years, I totally agree.
Thanks for the “welcome” messages! Any concerned parents out there (or college students, for that matter) should really think about buying a copy of “Unprotected.” I was shocked by some of the things I learned from it!

Some have argued that we should be teaching teens “outercourse” as a defense to engaging in intercourse. It’s just a ruse. Just as the issue of condoms in school forever shifted the argument from IF teens should have sex to WHEN...
The so-called womens’ movement has benefited only unscrupulous men who are looking for free sex without commitment, and destroys women. The movement is concerned only with its own power.
Teach her to respect herself and to expect others to give her respect too. It is a different side of the coin.
And a kind and honest woman will do the opposite.
I wouldn’t trade our conservative babes for the liberals’ “womyn” for all the money in the world!
And, BTW, the article was great!
Welcome! Glad to have you aboard here at FR!
The big problem is that liberals do not acknowledge and/or disregard Natural Law. Therefore, your points are invalid and you are a bigot/racist/sexist/[add other type of “ist” here].

Not guilty.
No, it is not a true diary of anyone. "Go Ask Alice" is a work of fiction. In my experience, kids are often shocked and deeply dismayed and feel lied to when they discover that the book is not autobiographical, but was written by Beatrice Sparks, the purported "editor".
It is best not to lie to kids (not you, the publisher). The simple truth works just fine: that the story is fiction, but that the events in it do happen to people who do drugs.

Wow. How did you get a photo with Newt?
Our reward is that we're still together after 23 years and our kids are well-adjusted and committed to saving themselves for marriage. And yes, we know other families just like us in this respect, even in 2007.
Everyone of us makes Planned Parenthood less relevant and less wealthy.
