Quotes to Note

The Morning After Pill (MAP, EC): 

"...Researchers have said that it acts in at least 2 ways to end a pregnancy:   

"a.   By damaging the lining of the womb so that implantation of the human embryo - the unseen patient - cannot occur.    

"b. Research in mice has also indicated that if an embryo attaches to the womb, the body reabsorbs it, thereby ending the embryo’s life.    

"Because the MAP can act via these two methods, it must be classified as an abortifacient - a drug that can cause an abortion. The fact that the MAP reduces the expected pregnancy rate by 87% supports the claim that it frequently acts to end the life of a human embryo. Therefore, due to the danger to the health of the human embryo caused by the MAP, my Code of Professional Conduct, parts 1.1 and 1.2,  forbids me from selling this drug." [Policy - Code of Professional Conduct. Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. Endorsed by National Council 3/1998]



 
Power Point: Implications of the Virginity Pledge on Teens PDF Print E-mail

This is a Power Point presentation for parents and teachers.

The purpose of this presentation is to show the value of the Virginity Pledge. When teens learn about sexual abstinence, and then make the decision to sign a pledge card to remain sexually abstinent for a certain period of time, or until they marry, it has a significant effect on delaying the age at which they experience sexual debut.

Studies have verified this effect.
