Where is the moral guidance today. What a shame. Show them pictures of Herpes. Then teach them the advantages of waiting until marriage instead of how to use a condom. How about teaching that all premarital sex is wrong. That would cover everyone in every situation. I the parent will take an interest in my child and teach him right from wrong. Let me keep my tax dollars. Using taxes to have more unqualified teachers, teach more non academic subjects to my kid is socialism per usual. Teenagers have been reduced to rabbits.

One of the most insightful responses to this information though is in this article by Robert Knight, Director of the Culture and Media Institute. I think it's an excellent additional read, especially because liberal organizations have been using this statistic to attempt and poke holes in the abstinence-only message and Knight's article comes at this statistic from the other side. http://www.cultureandmediainstitute.org/articles/2008/20080317110439.aspx Not unexpectedly, many of the articles that I have been looking at recently have been citing this statistic.

]]> Comment on Hollywood Doc NOT an Expert on Abstinence by Theresa http://blog.abstinence.net/2008/03/28/hollywood-doc-not-an-expert-on-abstinence/#comment-3761 Theresa Tue, 01 Apr 2008 21:55:34 +0000 http://abstinence.net/blognew/2008/03/28/hollywood-doc-not-an-expert-on-abstinence/#comment-3761 I share your frustration at this outrageous situation. I was not able to watch the program; however, I did a little follow up research and found an article that has part of the conversation between Walsh and Chen that you are referring to (http://www.cultureandmediainstitute.org/articles/2008/20080328170418.aspx). What absolutely floored me was that Walsh even went so far as to say that "in the age of information, these women are just not getting adequate information." Adequate information? Adequate information! I fail to see how students, particularly public school students, are not receiving information concerning the consequences of unsafe sex or even the need for safe sex. I remember when I was a high school student that, no matter where I seemed to turn, the people around me were talking about their sexual experiences or making sexual inuendos, whether I wanted to hear it or not. In fact, I didn't even need my parents to give me the "birds and the bees" talk when I was in middle school because I had already picked up the general gist from the people around me - middle school! Not to mention that even the commercials on television are sex-saturated. From the Trojan commercials with the pig who turns into a handsome dude when he decides to use a condom to any one of the commercials promoting the HPV vaccine. Essentially, any student would have to literally live under a rock in order to avoid encountering sexually-educating information, majority of which has nothing to do with the message of abstinence. Furthermore, if Ms. Walsh is really as genuinely concerned about this apparent travesty as she seems to be, perhaps she should consult the writers of her show to provide her with the opportunity to portray to the millions of women who watch her engage in promiscuous acts the truth about random sex that way she can be assured that the information is getting out there.

I just want to say she handled herself very well, in spite of being talked over by a liberal big mouth. Your message is the only mesage to keep children safe. I am a Conservative Catholic and teach my children abstinence. Keep up the good work. And Kimberly is a very nice polite young lady.

It's a shame I couldn't hear it, I had to go online to determine what group you were from, what your goals were. You deserve a 2nd interview, maybe a mute button for that rude woman. In any event the rest of the country got a glimpse of what PA parents deal with everyday. The educators here are hostile, frankly, we could use all the help we can get. Thank you for taking a stand.

Personally, I am disgusted and find it saddening that so many of his clients are women and that they support this bad habit. Where is the government in all of this? Shouldn't somebody step in and take legal action? This just feeds the cycle of the sex industry to exploit the human body even more.
