mysexlifeonline pro-sex advocacy page: fighting for sexual rights

This page compiles action alerts on current issues from organizations working to fight for our sexual rights around the world.

Tell the US Govt. that you don't support abstinence-only programs!

Visit SIECUS's great site dedicated to fighting Bush's promotion of abstinence only education...

There are three federal funding streams for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs in spite of the fact that there is no evidence that these programs work. In fact, new research has concluded that not only do abstinence-only-until-marriage programs remain unproven, but also that they may actually be causing harm to young people by undermining the use of contraceptives once participants become sexually active.

Please contact your Members of Congress and ask that NO NEW MONEY be spent on abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. Visit the nonewmoney.org website now!
