CWA’s Crouse Commends First Lady Laura Bush for Speaking Out on Abstinence WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America’s (CWA’s) Dr. Janice Crouse commends first lady Laura Bush for her passionate support of a woman’s right to choose abstinence as an effective prevention against sexually transmitted diseases. In a trip to Africa, Mrs. Bush has encouraged young women to exercise their right to abstain from sex, especially in light of the epidemic of HIV/AIDS there. Dr. Crouse, CWA’s Senior Fellow of the Beverly LaHaye Institute, is a former U.S. delegate to the United Nations (U.N.) and one of CWA’s representatives at the U.N. She is the author of the “Sex Pyramid,” a tool for parents to use in talking with their children about sex. Dr. Crouse also writes a weekly column about sex and society for United Press International. “Mrs. Bush should be applauded for taking a stand for abstinence and supporting her husband’s policy on this important issue,” said Dr. Crouse. “She has offered hope and encouragement to many young girls in Africa. By taking a bold stand for women’s rights, Mrs. Bush has helped girls realize that their lives do have value, and that they deserve the utmost respect.” Click http://www.cwfa.org/articles/9913/BLI/education/index.htm to read more of Dr. Crouse’s commentary on the first lady’s trip to Africa.
