It's hard to understand how so many women have come to believe the greatest success women have achieved is their right to take the life of their own unborn child. 

But this anti-life attitude didn't come out of a vacuum. At the height of the sexual revolution, Hugh Hefner bankrolled the winning legal team for the bogus Roe vs. Wade argument. A recent letter writer seems to fall right in step with Hefner's philosophy.

While the entertainment industry pours forth its oversexed garbage, its stars, so many with raunchy lifestyles, also line up to sing the pro-choice praises. And the glitter goes on, dazzling our susceptible teeny-boppers. Sexy sells, and even the fashion industry starts the 12-year-olds off with clothing that's “hot.”

That letter writer wants more of the same in the schools. Keep throwing the kids condoms, no matter that STD numbers have gone up, including about 30 kinds of herpes, which is incurable. Never mind that teen depression and suicide rates among girls are up.

Contraceptives never protect against broken hearts, and offer very little protection against many diseases. Teens need guidance, supervision, help with building real relationships and respecting their bodies. The most vulnerable teens, may have single parents or parents raised in a different culture. The savvy parents now home-school or send kids to religious schools.

Yes, let's get real. Deep in our hearts, we all want real love and commitment. Sure, it can be hard, but anything worthwhile takes discipline. Kids discipline themselves in sports, music and academic achievement, and they can do it to build a healthy family life. We need to take back the culture from those who corrupt the minds of our kids. Our public schools should be cooperating with parents in fighting these forces, not be complicit with them.
