DOCTORS ENDORSE ABSTINENCE EDUCATION
In a dramatic policy reversal, the Texas Medical Association has just
endorsed abstinence-based education as "the healthiest and most effective
way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in unmarried
adolescents."
Dallas orthopedic surgeon Dr. John Gill, a sponsor of the pro-abstinence
resolution, said the Association hopes "this strong statement by the
medical community will empower parents." The support of the most
influential medical group in Texas combined with the Texas Attorney
General's office will lend major impetus to efforts already underway to
reach school-aged children with a message affirming chastity and marriage.
