TOPIC: ',THE PILL"
(continued trout peg° One)
All of 1,11 IS is confusing ueeeuse
most of us wont admit to any of
this. There is no area of life
which we cover up so complet-
ely as our LL AL attitude to sex,
e hy we get so disturbed
about any issue that comes up
relating to it tuna discuss
it with, freedom, because we are
hiding so much of it and lying
about so much of it.
And now something new has
entered the arena — The Pill. A
father -Writes 'in a popular maga-
zine; "How can 1 tell my daugh-
ter to be good when The Pill says
she doesn't have to oeY How can
toil my daughter that sex is not
just for kites when. The
use May reduce it to just that?"
So here we have a problem that
our parents didn't have. Before
the V1,1 * the things that held us
back had little to do with Mor-
ality or God — in most cases it.
Was fear, fear of pregnacy. Now;
with the pill, all that is gone:
Now we shall see how much.
.our religion has to do with the
way we behave. Now, (I agree
with Pierre Berton) is the time
for the church to say 1, 2, 3, why
sex before marriage is wrong and
the answer had better be good
because we now have a situation
where the young people don't
have to listen.
From now on, most who stay
pure will do so by strength of con-

Will do so by choice rather than
necessity..
Of course, there will still be
quick marriages. as lung as
human nature rentaies the same,
there will still be youug people
who think of pregnaney as ethers
regard accidents — it's 'some-
thing that always happens to tee
ether person.
The leirector of Welfare of the
Salvation 'Army in 'roselike re-
cently said, "'it is better to have
illegitimarte chileren and put
them up for adoption than to
have shotgun Marriages.
1 agree. But no general state-
ment fits every situation. Every
problem in this field brings two
different personalities into 'the
picture where the solution for one
couple may not be the solution, for
the nest one. 1 wouia also go su
tar as to ask: "Would it not be
better to have the pill used by
a single promiscuous girl Man
bring another life into this world:
\\TLOSal arriVal is not desired;
WHOSE mother is still a child;
\I 'WSJ': Lather is still a boy;
\\ 11.0S1S future is completely
unplaimed for?
In Los Angeles a 15 year old
mother abandoned her baby
because in her words, "The baby
started crying and I didn't know
what to do."
'1 he reel tragedy of so many
teen marriages is that 'the girls
marry without knowing or realiz-
ing that: babies cry, get wet, get
sick, need constant care; that the
responsibilities of Marriage, once
assumed, cannot be dropped like
a date in high school; that a
carefree girlhood cut short by mar-
riage can. never be regained.
Now I can just imagine many
of you protesting, "W,a can t go
around dispensing the pill like a
bottle of pop or our young people
will be like a bunch of rabbits."
1 got news for you — a lot of
Young people, and a lot of adults,
are acting like rabbits, pill or no
pelt Which is worse: a preguant
girl or a nen-pregnant prom-
iscaotis girl? Many would answer:
"Lot them get pregnant; it's the
chance they should take for be-
havtng as they do." 1 wonder how
malty would, talk like that if they
had a teed,-age daughter in their
home, I Wonder how Many talk
like that simply beentise they are
a little envious of the freedom
that today's youth have.
It is difficult to know what the
answer thetild be. One thing sure
— act general rule can apply tam
way of the other. The general
rules you aail 1 had in the past
were broken as often as they
wore observed.
My present eon v iction, awl
times all ally of us can give, (anr
the lable has only isoluled litta-
sages ea sex and marriage., and .
Jesus was not a law-giver) is as
followe;
(le Sex is not dirty but, God-
given to be enjoyed, it is dirty

(2) 1 agree with the New eters
Laity that quoting the Ten Coni,
maudments is next to useless for
a generation 01 young people who.
hold no great stock in the script-
uses. Also, we can hardly expect
today's, youth to live up to some
ancient codes that we adults
observed ho mouth only. I think
the New Morality will go further

Let us agree on this — it is best
left for marriage. Why? Be-
cause it is an expression of the
deepest love one person can have
for another. We must not allow
it to remain at the present level
where it expresses the fact that
man belongs to the animal king-
dom and has a similar sexual act
with his fellow-animals. It really
depends on your view of Man. If
you regard man as being little
