Scott Phelps, an advocate for marriage and founder of the National Marriage Campaign, dives into the alarming rise of teen pregnancy linked to Planned Parenthood's sex education. He challenges the effectiveness of these programs, highlighting studies that show a lack of success in preventing unplanned pregnancies. Phelps argues for a curriculum centered on marriage and emphasizes the need for informed, conservative alternatives to current sex education. The conversation touches on societal perceptions of pregnancy and advocates for healthier teachings around relationships.
The National Marriage Campaign promotes marriage as the ideal context for sexual activity to combat rising teen pregnancy rates after Planned Parenthood's sex education programs.
Research from the Success Sequence Program highlights that delaying sexual activity until marriage correlates with better educational and economic outcomes for young people.
Deep dives
Alternatives to Planned Parenthood's Sex Education
The National Marriage Campaign offers an alternative to Planned Parenthood's sex education by promoting the value of marriage as the ideal context for sexual activity. The program emphasizes that a committed partnership between a mother and father can provide a stable environment for children, leading to healthier family structures. This approach aims to uplift and strengthen the institution of marriage while presenting a clear counter-narrative to the sex education traditionally provided in schools. The campaign targets schools, families, and churches, providing materials designed to inspire youth to prepare for healthy marriages.
Success Sequence Program
The Success Sequence Program is designed to help young people understand the benefits of delaying sexual activity until marriage while also focusing on achieving educational and career milestones first. Research indicates that completing education, securing employment, and then marrying before starting a family significantly reduces the likelihood of poverty and reliance on government assistance. The program seeks to equip students with a factual understanding of these life choices and promotes a positive message about marriage and family. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by the high rates of students expressing a desire to reserve sexual activity for marriage after participating.
Challenges from Established Institutions
The National Marriage Campaign faces significant challenges from established organizations like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, which aim to maintain their influence in sex education. These institutions often respond aggressively to alternative curriculum initiatives, aiming to preserve their monopoly on sexual education. Moreover, the systemic presence of their ideologies in educational, medical, and media institutions complicates efforts to introduce new approaches. The program seeks to confront this dominance by offering a comprehensive, objective curriculum that emphasizes the importance of marriage in discussions of sexual health.
The Impact of Comprehensive Sex Education
Critics of comprehensive sex education emphasize that the messaging often equates pregnancy to a disease, neglecting the positive aspects of family and child-rearing. Statistics reveal that a significant percentage of high school students are not sexually active, contradicting the narrative that such education is essential. Furthermore, there is skepticism regarding claims that comprehensive sex education effectively lowers abortion rates, as evidenced by studies highlighting higher pregnancy rates among students involved in particular Planned Parenthood programs. The discourse suggests a need for a paradigm shift that respects the emotional and social dimensions of sexual relationships while promoting a healthier understanding of sexuality within the context of marriage.
Tens of millions of America’s tax dollars go toward Planned Parenthood sex ed. They told parents this will prevent unplanned pregnancies and increase knowledge of “safe sex”. However, studies are coming out proving the opposite. Scott Phelps joins Seth Gruber to discuss the increasing rate of teen pregnancies and how Phelps’ “National Marriage Campaign” is combatting this issue head-on.
