Pro-lifers
have said it time and again --- valueless
or values-free sex education will not
lead to less pregnancies (which lead to
abortions), but rather to more.
Now the Philippine government, enticed
with big bucks by the pro-abortion international
forces, is forcing sex education on
our schools, even among the very young.
We already know how this will turn out.
Sex education will lead to more sexual
activity among the young (not within
marriage, mind you), which will lead
to greater contraceptive use, which
in spite of this will lead to more unwanted
pregnancies, which ultimately will lead
to pressure to legalize abortion.
We already know how values-free sex
education will turn out. Are those who
are promoting this not aware of this?
If they are not, they are totally misinformed
or just plain stupid. But many, especially
those in government who have heard the
arguments for and against, probably
are aware. So why plunge into a slippery
slope that can only end in legalized
abortion, as has happened in most of
the countries of the world? Well, there
are billions of pesos to be made by
unscrupulous promoters of sex ed and
contraceptives. There is the political
colonial oppression by the First World
countries such as the US and those of
the EU that tie governmental assistance
to population control. And of course,
there is the diabolical work of Satan,
who is the deceiver.
Let us vigorously oppose valueless sex
education in the schools among the very
young. In this we will only be opposing
the very work of Satan.
Sharp
Rise in Repeat Abortions in England and
Wales: Values-Free Sex Ed Blamed
By

LONDON,
June 14, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
– New figures showing a
rise in the number of multiple abortions
among younger women have prompted
criticisms of government sex education
policies.
A
Christian doctor’s group called
the statistics “profoundly depressing,”
and blamed the
government’s longstanding “values-free”
sex education.
“It
is increasingly clear,” said Dr.
Peter Saunders, of the Christian Medical
Fellowship, “that abortion
is simply being used as a form of contraception
by a growing percentage of girls and
women, and that tired policies of values-free
sex education, condoms and morning-after
pills are not working.”
George
Pitcher, a liberal Anglican minister
and religion editor for the Daily Telegraph,
commented that the current approach
to dealing with unwanted pregnancies,
especially among the young, is failing
to take the problem seriously.
“You
don't have to be over-cynical to feel
that making the likes of Marie Stopes
the principal public voice in abortion
policy is like appointing a fox as gamekeeper.
There needs to be a higher moral imperative
than that,” Pitcher wrote.
“Many
will continue to look for it from the
Catholic Church (and I don't confine
that to Roman Catholicism). Finger-wagging
from scripture is unlikely to gain a
tenacious grip on the young imagination,
but there is, none the less, room for
teaching on what used to be called sinful,
and these days may more readily be understood
as human actions having consequences.”
According
to Department of Health statistics released
late last month, 89 girls aged 17 or
under who had an abortion in 2009 had
had at least two previous abortions.
The figures also showed that for the
first time, more than a third (34%)
of abortions were repeat abortions.
More
than 1,000 women or girls have had at
least 5 abortions, with 214 having 6,
70 having 7, and 48 having 8 or more.
Overall,
the number of abortions committed in
England and Wales fell from 195,296
in 2008 to 189,100 last year, a slight
drop of about 3.2%.
While
some have highlighted this fall in numbers,
it is only the second year in which
abortion rates have dropped since 2001.
The figures also show that the number
of older women having children has increased
significantly, while fewer younger women
are giving birth.
In
recent years, Britain’s abortion
rate, which has climbed steadily since
legalization in 1967, has alarmed even
some pro-abortion MPs and has earned
the country the nickname “abortion
capital of Europe.”

to me to live is Christ, and to die is
