Good Reasons for Sexual Abstinence
Many young people and adults are choosing to abstain from sex these days, for many different reasons. Even if you’ve had sex before, abstinence may make sense at certain points in your life, for both your emotional and physical health.

Abstinence means different things to different people. Many heterosexuals who choose abstinence consider it to mean not having vaginal intercourse, particularly to preserve virginity. Others say abstinence means no vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse. For some, abstinence means avoiding all sexual behavior, including kissing.

Abstinence from vaginal intercourse is the only 100 percent effective means of preventing pregnancy, and it is viewed by some as the best way for young people to avoid both pregnancy and sexual transmitted diseases.

However, if you still participate in oral sex or anal sex, you do stand a chance of getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Only abstinence from all forms of sex can protect you from STDs 100 percent of the time.

There are also long-term health-related reasons for young people to remain abstinent until later in life. Women who abstain from sex until past their teenage years are less likely to get STDs that can lead to cervical cancer and infertility. Likewise, young men who avoid sexual activity may be at lower risk of STDs associated with condoms and employing other safe sex practices.

Adults who are no longer virgins often choose to practice sexual abstinence for reasons other than birth control or avoiding STDs.

It can be tough to remain abstinent. You might have to deal with peer pressure to become sexually active, particularly if you're a virgin. Or you might be in an intimate relationship where sex seems like the next step.

One drawback to abstinence is that many men and women decide to end it without fully preparing themselves. If you do decide to become sexually active, be certain to guard against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases by consistently using condoms and employing other safe sex practices. Take the time to learn about the various methods of birth control and make sure you have access to them if you so choose.

An attempt to smuggle abortion into Kenyan constitution
The World Congress of Families urges the government of Kenya not to abandon the unborn by adopting language that would facilitate abortion, in a draft of a new constitution, reports World Congress of Families.

WCF Communications Director Don Feder noted that the draft constitution, currently being debated in the Kenyan legislature, has contradictory provisions: “On the one hand, Section 26 states that every person has a right to life, and that life begins at conception. However, this is totally negated by the next section, which allows abortion when, in the ‘opinion of a trained health professional (not necessarily a physician), there is need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of the mother is in danger, or if permitted by any other written law.’”

Groups like the Center for Reproductive Rights are urging Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to push this abortion loophole on Kenya – not that she needs much urging.

Feder countered: “An exception to a ban on abortion for the ‘health of the mother’ is virtually abortion-on-demand. You can always find an obliging ‘health professional’ – including mental-health workers – who will certify that any condition would endanger a woman’s health unless a pregnancy is terminated. That’s the way mother’s-health exceptions work in the United States, and why pro-lifers have fought them so hard.”

The World Congress of Families Communications Director noted that abortion does more to jeopardize a mother’s health (including making her more susceptible to breast cancer) than does carrying a child to term.

Stop this attack on the heart of Kenya!
Joseph Meaney, Director of International Coordination for Human Life International, protested the violation of Kenya’s constitution and traditional values by the Kenyan Parliament and large international pro-abortion organizations.

“Kenyans are pro-life! Their traditional love for life is in their constitution, which only reflects what is in their hearts and institutions,” said Meaney. “When we see the new articles added to the constitution and approved by parliament under heavy pressure from Western elites, we are seeing an assault on the very heart of the Kenyan people.”

Although the Kenyan constitution has long had language defending the life of the unborn from conception, new language has been added and approved by the Kenyan parliament which would effectively override any pro-life provision, opening the door to legalized abortion. Before the revised constitution can come into force, it must be approved by popular vote, which is expected to occur in July of this year.

“Perhaps the greatest insult is that this attack is happening under the banner of ‘improving women’s health’. The only ones who believe that killing an unborn child is good for a woman’s health are those who will profit from the slaughter, Western powers who are pouring untold millions of dollars into measures to keep Africa’s children from being born,” said Meaney. “This is nothing but population control, an imperialist assault intended to rob Africa of its future by eliminating her children. It is a disgrace.”
