Quotes to Note

We are now seeing the cloning of humans, mixtures of human and animal embryos, embryonic stem cell research (which makes and then destroys human embryos), the destruction of "extra" frozen IVF human embryos, and the sale of human fetal body parts, all presented by the media in very desensitizing ways. 

We must recognize that every abortion and every embryo produced and destroyed for "research" causes the death of a living, defenseless human being, who would come to birth if allowed to develop in an uninterrupted way.

Every one of these could be our neighbor, relative, or friend.

Would we want someone we know to be treated this way?

Why do we then allow it to happen just because we haven't met these little ones?

Dignity is due to every human life from fertilization through the moment of natural death.

-- Michael Lathem, M.D. 

 
Cohabitation & Infidelity PDF Print E-mail

A study published in the Journal of Marriage and the Family from the Univ of CA at Irvine reports that cohabitation has little effect on a couple’s expectations of their partner’s fidelity (94% expect sexual exclusivity compared to 99% of married couples); but that cohabitation markedly effects the likelihood that they themselves will remain true.

"The odds of recent infidelity were more than twice as high for cohabitors than for married persons", the researchers calculated.

They also found that couples who have been "living together before marriage raised the net odds of marital infidelity by 39%".

[The Family in America, 7/00; J.Treas & D Giesen, "Sexual Infidelity Among Married and Cohabiting Americans," Journal of Marriage and the Family 62, 2000:48-60;Abstinence Network, Fall 00]
