What is Sexual Freedom?  As defined by the Woodhull Foundation, “Sexual freedom is the fundamental human right to experience, express, and define one's sexuality, pleasure, and relationships without shame, guilt, coercion, or state restriction. It promotes autonomy over one's body and rejects rigid social, moral, or gendered norms, allowing individuals to dictate their own consensual sexual lives.”  

But is Sexual Freedom Truly Free?

Knowing what is actually happening during the very early stages of pregnancy is anyone’s best guess.   In such a deep unknown, how do we know if the pregnancy is progressing? How do we know it is in the correct place before damage is done? And for an uncertain woman, how can she think that it is safe to undergo a chemical or surgical procedure?  It is true that many women are emotionally affected by the opportunity to see a beating heart in an ultrasound, but the importance of it is imperative to ensure that her health remains the priority, regardless of her decision.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, the research and policy arm of the abortion industry,  63% of all abortions are now induced via the abortion pill. What is the origin and evolution of the abortion pill, how does it work, is it as safe as the industry claims, and what could go wrong?  That is what we are going to explore along with how it creates incentives that cause dangers to women. The Department of Health and Human Services is reviewing the use of mifepristone, RU 486 as you may know, based on research by the Ethics and Public Policy Center into the safety of the drug. As expected the abortion industry is disputing the findings. 

When faced with a life altering situation, what we say and how we listen can be the difference that changes the course of someone’s future.  A woman facing a crisis pregnancy is experiencing emotional turmoil and is in need of support and understanding.  Do you know what you  would say?  Would you know how to constructively listen in a way that helps her as she needs it most? 

With 30 known types of diseases, it is imperative to discuss the importance of testing and the facts you need to know for your sexual health.  Most infections do not cause symptoms until later stages where permanent damage may have been done.  

As reported by the CDC, an estimated 26 million new sexually transmitted disease (STD) infections happen each year, half among young people ages 15-24.  There are more than 68 million total (new and existing) STD infections across the United States - that is 1 in 5 people.  

A very high percentage of pregnancy terminations - over 63% according to the Guttmacher Institute - are completed chemically, aka the abortion pill.  What happens when the human remains of the pregnancy and the active metabolites of the chemical compounds, are flushed down the toilet and into our water system?  With an estimated 40 tons of remnants excreted every year, can our water treatment plants handle the onslaught?  There is evidence to prove that it can not.

Some studies claim that a high percentage of women say the decision to end their pregnancy was the right thing to do.  Do not be confused with misleading terminology that  attempts to  equate with emotional side effects as these are two very different concepts. Did you know of the existence of Post Abortion Syndrome? Why have groups that assist women find psychological healing after abortion popped up all over? If you did not know this, you are not alone. The abortion industry tries to tell women that there are no mental downsides to abortion. There is evidence to prove it.

Pregnancy Resource Centers are under attack for their advocate and educational work to provide assistance and guidance throughout the journey of the decision process. It is imperative for the safety of the woman and her child to be fully aware of the options and consequences of the choice she is facing in order to determine what is ultimately best for her.
