Virginity, Abortion, and Homosexuality

Virginity, Abortion, and Homosexuality

Virginity, abortion, and homosexuality have to come close to topping the list of hot topics in contemporary discourse and all are discussed on http://americansfortruth.com/, the website for a new organization of AFTAH, Americans For Truth About Homosexuality.

Its current lead article, reprinted from http://www.lifesitenews.com/, concerns the first two topics only. It relates to Tim Tebow, Florida Gators’ quarterback, a “rising star” in college football who just made the cover of Sports Illustrated and is a Heisman nominee.

Tim is also a unique star in today’s America.

Home-schooled by his mom, and proud of it, Tim is a committed Christian, and proud of that as well. Those facts, though, do not fully explain his uniqueness.

He dropped a bombshell last week at a news conference when asked a totally irrelevant question by a nitwit reporter as to whether he was “saving himself” for marriage.

Rather than responding with the retort that many of us would use to an oddball query namely, “What the hell stupid question is that?” he simply said, “Yes, I am.”

Therein was the bombshell. The room was rocked and flabbergasted at Tim’s admission that a handsome, 21 year old, star football QB living in 2009 America, probably already plagued by teenage groupies, was a virgin who planned to stay that way until he married.

Today, in our sex-saturated society such a revelation by even a high school athlete would cause a media stir.

Tim is happy with the publicity he’s been getting of late not because it feeds his ego but because it has given him the opportunity to interact with many more people and spread his Christian faith.

One of the strongest tenets of that faith is a reverence for the sanctity of life and he has directly and significantly benefitted from his mother’s strong opposition to abortion: It’s the reason he is alive.

While pregnant with Tim, Mrs. Tebow contracted a life-threatening infection and was pressured by her doctors to have an abortion. She refused and both she and her son are alive and well today.

Tim tossed another bombshell at the press conference when he said, “There has been a lot of people that have been encouraged not to have an abortion because they heard the story of my mom, or they have been encouraged because they have heard me give my faith on TV or in a report.”

As I said, Tim Tebow is unique.

On the other side of the AFTAH coin are less wholesome stories and reports on recent activities in the gay world, which world is intruding more and more on the normal world. Cases in point:

. “Pro-homosexual Websites Slam AFTAH for Call To Investigate Health Risks of ‘Gay’ Sex.” Those risks are patently obvious to all but the most obtuse homosexuals and well known to the most self-destructive gays. Yet, People for the American Way is campaigning to end the ban on gays donating blood. Yet, governments nationwide refuse to regulate a chain of homosexual “bathhouses.” Steamworks even offered student discounts for spring break. . . .
