My friend over at Three Tabooswrote an article about purity dances. For those who are not aware of what purity dances are they are dances attended by Christian fathers and daughters. At the dance the daughters vow to keep their virginity intact until…

However, now we’re using the SAME logic to fight for birth control pills???

Do you really, truly think that birth control would have been the solution for your 13-year-old cousin?

You are right. The world is changing and not for the better I might add. I doubt that many of us on the “other” side need a reality check as we don’t have to go far to witness the moral cesspool that our culture is drowning in.

So EN, should we take the low or the high road on the issue? Isn’t birth control just a bandaid? Perhaps we need to try to understand why your poor cousin allowed herself to be physically intimate with a boy. Did he really love her? Well, what is true love? How about being willing to sacrifice yourself for another. That’s a tough pill to swallow, isn’t it? But it is the TRUTH. Back to the boy. Was he willing to marry your cousin & financially provide for her & their child? Then why were they engaging in relations?

Oh, because it’s enjoyable you say. Well, what kind of society will we have if all of us engage in what’s enjoyable and ignore the tough stuff like going to work and studying for example? What if I think it’s “enjoyable” to run over my neighbor whom I dislike intensely? Then should I do it?

Even if both the boy & your cousin “enjoyed” each other physically what is the end result of that? Can a truly healthy & loving relationship be built upon mutual “using” of each other. That’s exactly what it is, isn’t it? I use you & you use me. When we’re done, we’ll just discard each other. Oh, but now there’s a baby involved. That makes it a little sticky…

Bottom line, EN, we are not animals. We all need to control ourselves for the good of ourselves, others and society. Everything we do requires control to a certain degree. What kind of standard are we setting up for children when we hand out birth control to them? We are not helping them to achieve their true dignity. We’re saying “Yes, you’re an animal. I know you’re an animal. And since you are unable to rise above this situation, I’ll give you something to prevent the messiness that would result from your actions.” EN, can you understand that is it the messiness that helps us to learn life’s lessons?

What is the purpose of this life if we don’t at least have high standards for ourselves and others? I can’t imagine that we were created to be so base and undignified.

Anyway, to give you guys some perspective, get a reality check! Middle school students, at least some of them, are sexually active. In fact, my cousin was… You know what her mother responded with… denial.

So I think this is a good thing. In fact, had her school had it, I would have encouraged it. I almost took her to get birth control myself. Because I think it is more important for her to not get pregnant and drop out of school at 13, than to take moral exception or pretend like I can stop her.

Maybe you should think about that. The world is changing, wake up and realize.

It simply angers me. It reminds me of the novel, A Brave New World.

Yes, but it’s local, so it’s not cause for panic. Don’t be surprised if all five of the yay votes get swept away in next year’s election.

It happened last year to the board in Kansas (or was it PA? Maybe both) that added ID to the science curriculum. It’s very easy to keep local politicians in accord with the wishes of the community. That’s why it’s so important to use national legislation as a very last resort.
