The CDC has published a study of Americans and sexually transmitted diseases. The results are shocking and very sad. During the week where we are discussing homosexual marriage and the the sexual revolution, comes the news that over 100 million STD’s are in the United States. This amounts to 1 in every 3 Americans.

As anyone who’s read my abstinence column here at Fox News Opinion could guess, my wedding is something that I’ve looked forward to for quite some time. After having tied the knot at the end of August, I can now say beyond all shadow of a doubt, that it was everything I’d hoped and prayed that it would be since childhood. (I’d also prayed to be bitten by a radioactive spider and develop sticky hands, but… I was an idiot.) Read more…
Recently I was talking with a friend who planned on attending a wedding the following weekend. The groom was a college friend who had stood up in her own wedding; while the bride she had only met a few times. In the midst of our conversation about the wedding and what my friend would wear she made a comment that caught me completely off-guard. Read more…

Amazing news. Could it really be true? Are teens finally waking up to the pitfalls of early sexual activity?
Here is some important info from the US that we missed last week. A report from the federal health monitoring agency, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), brings the news that births to teenagers aged 15-19 are down by 44 per cent on 1990. The 2010 birth rate for that age group of 34.3 per 1000 females represents a 70-year low, and record lows for all racial/ethnic groups. Read more…

This past summer, I spent a fantastic weekend as one of about 40 international students who attended the Ruth Institute’s “It Takes a Family” 2011 conference (ITAF). While there, I met two students from the University of Pittsburgh, Joseph Petrich and Alex Souchuns. Both are involved in the Anscombe Society on campus, with Joseph the current president. The Anscombe Society is connected with the Love & Fidelity Network and seeks to 
educate and raise awareness on issues of life, fidelity, love, and sex within marriage. These groups are beginning to crop up on campuses across the country, and while they may go by any number of names, their purpose is the same. In a culture that seeks to remove all boundaries on sex and encourages college students to simply practice ‘safe’ sex, these students call their peers to something better, something higher, something that is the best for not only their body, but also their heart.

Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America (CWA) says the truth is that teen birth rates have been dropping for several years now, and the stats from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are good news.
“[Teen birth rates] dropped nine percent. This is about the third year in a row when these have declined,” she reports. “It’s also a record low for younger and older teenagers and for every single race, and that is particularly significant because the black rate has been very high in comparison to other races, and also with Hispanic groups.” Read more…
