Quotes to Note

Advocates of "safe sex" – those with the idea of giving away condoms to students at school – must face the fact that there is no condom for the brain or heart. For them, the only negative consequences of teen sex they seem to care about are the physical dangers (and even then, with the high failure rate of condoms kids are never fully protected from either disease or pregnancy).

What about the emotional and psychological dangers?

Heritage Senior analyst Robert Rector explains that the consequences of teen-sex are felt for a lifetime: "Sexual activity by teens has both short-term and long-term negative psychological effects. It disputes their ability to develop loving, intimate and committed relationships and thereby creates great unhappiness in later life."

[Sex, sadness and suicide, Heritage Fdn., 3Jun03; data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, 1996, for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and 17 other federal agencies.

  • Abstinence Research and Studies  ( 45 items )

    More and more research is currently being conducted by private and governmental agencies.

    Abstinence always protects physically against STD infection, and avoids pregnancy. Abstinence also protects our youth emotionally.

    Some recent "research", produced by groups opposed to sexual abstinence, has "shown" that abstinence is not good for our youth. If you hear of these studies, keep in mind who is publicizing them, and why.

    No one makes money on abstinent youth, only on contracepting, condom-using, abortion-procuring youth...

    SEXUAL ABSTINENCE

    "To love somebody

    is not just a strong feeling;

    it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise.

    If love were only a feeling, 

    there would be no basis

    for the promise to love each other forever."

    -- Eric Fromm
