State Film to Promote Chastity
Be serious! Abstinence is not ignoring sexuality, it is introducing a “new” idea and way of dealing with one’s sexuality.
Also, rather than making a judgment that everyone is “doing it,” why doesn’t the author of this editorial do a study on teen-agers who are aware of practicing abstinence and the zero number of pregnancies in that group?
It is odd also that this writer thinks of sexuality in terms of intercourse. Our sexuality is a part of who we are as persons whether we ever have intercourse or not, and believe it or not most people are aware of his or her sexuality as a small child.
Abstinence is the safest form of birth control, so why not introduce it to California teen-agers and give them a choice? It really is possible!
