“In spite of conflicting signals - and in spite of a popular culture that sometimes puts down their innocence - most of our kids are good kids. Large numbers do volunteer work. Nearly all believe in God, and most practice their faith. Teen pregnancy and violence are actually going down.

“... woman is frequently praised as the more "creative" sex. She does not need to make poems, it is argued; she has no drive to make poems, because she is privileged to make babies.

I am not trying, as the ad says, to shove religion down anyone's throat. But I do think everyone has a right, and that the Christian voice is being chocked off.” ThinkingShouldTryingMightChristianSexVoiceWalksTaughtSeriousBalanceAskingLibraryAlternativesTeenagerAbortionPregnancyThroatAdsAdoptionTeenageAbstinencePublic LibrarySex EducationGloria Author:Cal Thomas
