Values I Hope the Next President Will Support!

By: Laura Merriott (View Profile)

NOW for the solution—conservatives have funded and want to expand abstinence until MARRIAGE funding so that ALL youth will understand the consequences of that behavior teach them how NOT to get STDs or end up in poverty as a single mom or have to CHOOSE to KILL her baby in abortion. Also we would like to teach young men why they need to exercise self-control and wait, and commit to the mom in MARRIAGE, that it is healthy for the child to grow up with a father and a mother and have a better chance of NOT engaging in criminal behavior and other negative behaviors!

I have a tape of some politicians from C-Span who say it is “unrealistic” to teach some youth abstinence—isn’t that soft bigotry of LOW expectation—that blacks CANNOT be taught self-control like their white peers—I believe that IT IS RACIST to not teach them the HIGH standard of abstinence AND we have studies which state black youth do abstain after this healthy, responsible, MORAL directive of abstinence education! SO—I hope we will begin to challenge those who say they want less poverty, less crime, less STDs, less abortion to join with conservatives and DEMAND abstinence education for ALL youth—so that we can GREATLY reduce these sad statistics-especially for blacks!

I also want to include the devastation from emotional effects of pre-marital sex like increased rates of depression and suicide, loss of self-esteem and MANY other emotional crises that we spend MILLIONS on counseling!

I am personally volunteering to come anywhere in the U.S. to show you a summary of the two hour presentation that we give to our students, and I KNOW that you will agree that ALL American youth are entitled to this HEALTHY, RESPONSBLE, MORAL directive, instead of the irresponsible, unhealthy, thirty year-old failed directive of “Just use your condom education” which has as described in the summary enclosed on “Sexual Behaviors and their Consequences” which has HARMED so many!

I PRAY that you will prayerfully consider looking at the UNBELIEVABLE individual and societal costs to enabling our youth to continue to engage in the one behavioral CHOICE that causes all of these social ills—AND challenge them with the FACTS and with the solution—which is to direct ALL American youth to the healthy, responsible, directive of abstinence until MARRIAGE!
