"Contract with the American Family": coming soon to clean up your act

Article Abstract:

The Christian Coalition has begun lobbying for its "Contract with the American Family," a thinly veiled attack on sexual and personal freedom that would require repealing parts of the constitution. Observers feel that four points from ten points in the agenda will infringe on the individual sex rights of Americans. The coalition hopes to achieve its abortion-ending goals and the removal of the social safety net through financial restrictions, withholding health care statistics, regulating freedom of speech and shelving provisions of legal protection for minors and the poor. Eighty christian leaders have challenged the agenda through "A Cry for Renewal" proposal, and have proposed more humane solutions to the problem of teen pregnancy.

Back to the future: the past and coming congressional battles over sexuality issues

Article Abstract:

Advocates of sexual rights and sexual health need to strive hard to prevent the passage of government policy which could lay strictures on the sexuality of individual citizens, thereby hindering their growth in stature. The Republican majority in the Congress has ushered in conservative trends toward issues such as gay rights, thereby revealing the need for sexual rights professionals to clamor for a well-defined funding formula, accessibility to basic sexuality education and enhanced public assistance and sexual health service facilities.

Eyes on the horizon: threats to sexuality-related services hide in plain sight

Article Abstract:

Leadership by conservative Republicans in Congress will pose a threat to sexuality-related services by introducing social conservatism into social policy. By decreasing federal programs, these services will be affected. These services will also be affected by the proposed replacement of the federal programs by block grants whose allotment is decided by the state government. It is important that people in favour of sexuality-related services air their views in the Congress.
