The Abstinence Clearinghouse Blog

I’ve been told that if I’d been a parent in the 1950s, I probably would have spoken out against Elvis Presley’s pelvic thrust as a dance move.

A HUGE thanks from parents all over the country goes out to Joanna Respold who in her blog entry of 1/23/09 stood up to Henry Waxman and his sexualization of the children of America.  It’s awesome to see a young lady who seems to have it all together get up and tell the World that [...]
