Stop Abusing Youth and Let Them Choose Sexual Abstinence

House Speaker Mike Johnson was blasted at the end of 2023 for…taking his daughter Hannah to a purity ball!  In fact, I also took our daughter Sarah to a purity ball in 1999 when she was eleven years old.  She also received a purity ring, and she gave it to her husband as part of their marriage Blessing ceremony.  She is happily married and we have two beautiful grandchildren.

Let’s cut to the chase.  Teaching sexual abstinence before marriage is good, and it helps children to achieve successful outcomes in life.  Failure to maintain sexual purity when of school age is correlated with increased use of alcohol and drugs, poor academic performance, emotional stress, increased risk of suicide, infection with sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy.

So why is there opposition, such as that against House Speaker Mike Johnson?  The fundamental reason is because those opposing the movement for sexual purity before marriage are abusive themselves, or have been the victims of abuse and are stuck in a kind of Stockholm syndrome where the victims are advocating on behalf of their abusers.
