    Until You Are In An
    Adult Committed
    Relationship
    Sexual Abstinence Means:
    NO Sexual Intercourse:
    (Penis in Vagina)
    NO “feeling up”
    NO Oral Sex
    NO Anal Sex

    ABSTINENCE must be practiced Correctly 100 percent of the time or It

    Should Teens Be Expected To Be Abstinent Throughout Their Teen Years


    AND
    Can They Be Abstinent?

    YES ABSOLUTELY!
    Parents, Teachers, Clergy, and other important adults in your life –
    should let you know – and often – that they EXPECT you to remain
    abstinent until you are in and Adult Committed Relationship

    Life and Liberty for Women Expects That of YOU!


    While It Is Not Easy to Remain Abstinent
    YOU should know that YOU ARE Absolutely Capable
    of setting Relationship Boundaries with your Boyfriend/Girlfriend
    AND sticking to YOUR decision to remain

    Sexually Abstinent
    Alcohol Free
    and Drug Free

    How Not To Become Involved In These Risky Behaviors

    1. COMMIT TO RESPECTING AND PROTECTING – First and Foremost -


    YOURSELF
    2. COMMIT to Protecting Your Future – The Future May Seem Along
    Way Off To You Right Now – BUT IT WILL COME – and You Want it to
    Be Filled With Fun and Opportunities NOT an Unintended pregnancy
    – An STD – Or
    A Certain Death from AIDS
    3. Commit to Involving a Parent or Other Trusted Adult in Your Life
    4. Be Involved In a School Sport or other School or Community Activity
    5. Have a Part-time Job

    • Adoption – (closed and open)


    Giving away your baby and parental rights to someone else
    who will become your child’s parents. In a closed adoption you’ll
    never have any contact with your child
    • Abortion:
    terminating or ending the life of a pre-viable human fetus in the
    uterus
    • Parenting:
    a life long total commitment of time, money, and self-less
    caretaking
    of another human being

    RESPECT YOURSELF
    PLAN FOR and PROTECT YOUR FUTURE
    DON’T EVER PUT YOURSELF IN THE POSITION OF HAVING TO MAKE SUCH A
    DIFFICULT AND LIFE ALTERING DECISION WHILE STILL A TEENAGER
    Life and Liberty For Women
    www.lifeandlibertyforwomen.org

    Supports Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court Decision that
    legalized Abortion in the United States, because the History of ILLEGAL
    Abortion clearly shows us that it didn’t stop desperate determined
    women from having an abortion but it did make abortion more
    dangerous to women’s health and life. Most women who died when
    abortion was illegal – died from self-induced abortion.

    Supports reducing the number of abortion performed in the United


    States by reducing the number of unintended pregnancies through:

    1. Abstinence-based age-appropriate comprehensive


    sex education in schools
    2. More birth control research
    3. Better birth control availability – including health insurance
    coverage of prescription female birth control
    Men and Condoms – IF used correctly and consistently (100% of the time)
    LATEX Condoms are 98% effective in preventing pregnancy, HIV, Bacterial
    STD’s and offers some protection against viral STD’s.

    Abortion – Safe and Legal
