For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each
of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who
do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger
of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified...Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has
also given us His Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 [Barack] Obama released a FY 2010 Proposed Budget today and called for at least
$164 million in funding for contraceptive-only education. This includes competitive grants, research, evaluation and authorization
for $50 million in new mandatory condom grants to states, tribes and territories.
The budget eliminates funding
for CBAE (Community Based Abstinence Education) and Title V Abstinence Education Program. This means that the CBAE money will
continue funding through September 30, 2010.
[Barack] Obama's new budget is a Hollywood-failed old approach
that only increases teen pregnancy and damages America's greatest resource, our children.
Leslee Unruh, President
and Founder of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, said "I believe there will be a political backlash for those who oppose
these life saving abstinence programs. The enemies of sexual integrity programs will feel the heat from the army of youth
who have seen the light through these programs as they approach voting age."
This fight is far from over.
We have a mountain to move. Abstinence educators from all over the world are joining together in strategic meetings that will
take place with Abstinence Clearinghouse on June 16-19, 2009.
