Sex, Truth and…the Bible? The Religious Left Reclaims What is Right!
On Tuesday, March 7 from 7 pm-9 pm come join Planned Parenthood of New York City, Get the Facts NYY, Congregation Rodeph Sholom and and the Social Justice Commission of the Riverside Church at the Riverside Church (490 Riverside Drive between 120th and 122nd Street) to hear former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Shelby Knox (a young activist who challenged her church and her community to provide real sex education in the city of Lubbock, Texas) and others in the Pro-Choice Community!
WHY? Because all of us are obliged to ensure that our children have the education they need to lead healthy lives. Because it is unjust, and it is immoral to withhold such information or to permit our children to be mislead or misinformed. Because New York has amongst the highest rates in the nation of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Because New York State spends $12 million on harmful and innaccurate abstinence-only-until marriage programs that are prohibited from mentioning contraception except for their failure rates AND no money on proven comprehensive sex ed.
And because the radical religious right has staked a very flawed claim on morality and justice and it is time that we take it back.
